GetMinElemNumber

The GetMinElemNumber method returns the minimum global element number present in the mesh. This is useful for determining the range of element numbers and for array indexing.

Interface

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

Syntax

minElemNum = mesh%GetMinElemNumber()

Parameters

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

Return Value

Type	Description
INTEGER(I4B)	Minimum global element number in the mesh

Description

GetMinElemNumber returns the minimum global element number present in the mesh. This value is useful for determining the range of element numbers and for array indexing, especially when working with global element numbers directly.

Example Usage

TYPE(Mesh_) :: mesh
INTEGER(I4B) :: minElem, maxElem, rangeSize

! Initialize mesh...

! Get the minimum and maximum element numbers
minElem = mesh%GetMinElemNumber()
maxElem = mesh%GetMaxElemNumber()
rangeSize = maxElem - minElem + 1

PRINT *, "Element numbers range from", minElem, "to", maxElem
PRINT *, "Range size:", rangeSize
