GetMaxNNE

The GetMaxNNE method returns the maximum number of nodes in any element of the mesh. This is useful for allocating arrays that need to accommodate any element in the mesh.

Interface

INTERFACE
  MODULE FUNCTION GetMaxNNE(obj) RESULT(ans)
    CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(IN) :: obj
    INTEGER(I4B) :: ans
  END FUNCTION GetMaxNNE
END INTERFACE

Syntax

maxNodes = mesh%GetMaxNNE()

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Intent	Description
obj	CLASS(AbstractMesh_)	IN	The mesh object

Return Value

Type	Description
INTEGER(I4B)	Maximum number of nodes in any element

Description

GetMaxNNE returns the maximum number of nodes in any element of the mesh. This is useful for allocating arrays that need to be large enough to handle any element in the mesh without knowing the specific element type in advance.

Example Usage

TYPE(Mesh_) :: mesh
INTEGER(I4B) :: maxNodes
REAL(DFP), ALLOCATABLE :: nodalValues(:)

! Initialize mesh...

! Get the maximum number of nodes in any element
maxNodes = mesh%GetMaxNNE()

! Allocate an array that can handle any element
ALLOCATE (nodalValues(maxNodes))

! Use the array for operations on different elements
