Functions
int	ex_put_time (int exoid, int time_step, const void *time_value)

Function Documentation

ex_put_time()

int ex_put_time	(	int	exoid,
		int	time_step,
		const void *	time_value
	)

The function ex_put_time() writes the time value for a specified time step.

Because time values are floating point values, the application code must declare the array passed to be the appropriate type (float or double) to match the compute word size passed in ex_create() or ex_open().

Returns

In case of an error, ex_put_time() 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.

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]	time_step	The time step number. This is essentially a counter that is incremented only when results variables are output to the data file. The first time step is 1.
[in]	time_value	The time at the specified time step.

The following code segment will write out the simulation time value at simulation time step n:

int error, exoid, n;
float time_value;

/* write time value */
error = ex_put_time (exoid, n, &time_value);
