GetMaxElementToElements

Retrieves the maximum number of elements connected to any element in the mesh.

Interface

MODULE FUNCTION GetMaxElementToElements(obj) RESULT(ans)
  CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(INOUT) :: obj
  INTEGER(I4B) :: ans
END FUNCTION GetMaxElementToElements

Arguments

• obj (AbstractMesh_, input/output): The mesh object. May be modified if element-to-elements mapping needs to be initiated.

Returns

• ans (INTEGER): The maximum number of elements connected to any element in the mesh.

Description

This function returns the maximum number of elements connected to any element in the mesh. If the element-to-elements mapping has not been initiated, it will be initiated first.

This information is useful for pre-allocating arrays when working with element-to-element relationships.

Example

INTEGER(I4B) :: maxConnectedElements
maxConnectedElements = mesh%GetMaxElementToElements()
! Now maxConnectedElements contains the maximum number of elements connected to any element
