Function Documentation

ex_put_coord_names()

int ex_put_coord_names	(	int	exoid,
		char *	coord_names[]
	)

The function ex_put_coord_names() writes the names of the coordinate arrays to the database. Memory must be allocated for the character strings before this function is invoked.

In case of an error, ex_put_coord_names() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:

• data file not properly opened with call to ex_create() or ex_open()
• data file opened for read only.
• data file not initialized properly with call to ex_put_init().

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]	coord_names	Array containing num_dim names of length ...max_name_length... of the nodal coordinate arrays.

The following coding will write the coordinate names to an open exodus file :

int error, exoid;

char *coord_names[3];
coord_names[0] = "xcoor";
coord_names[1] = "ycoor";
coord_names[2] = "zcoor";

error = ex_put_coord_names (exoid, coord_names);
