GetCellNumber

Inheritence

This method is inherited from the AbstractMesh class.

GetCellNumber

Returns the master and slave cell numbers of a facet element.

Interface

MODULE FUNCTION GetCellNumber(obj, facetElement, elementType) RESULT(ans)
  CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(IN) :: obj
  INTEGER(I4B), INTENT(IN) :: facetElement
  INTEGER(I4B), INTENT(IN) :: elementType
  INTEGER(I4B) :: ans(2)
END FUNCTION GetCellNumber

Description

This function returns the global element numbers of the master and slave cells associated with a facet element. The master cell is the first cell that contains the facet, and the slave cell is the second cell that contains the facet (if any).

Arguments

• obj: The abstract mesh object.
• facetElement: The local facet element number.
• elementType: The element type of the facet.

Returns

• ans: A 2-element array where:
  • ans(1) is the master cell number
  • ans(2) is the slave cell number (or 0 if the facet is on a boundary)

Example

INTEGER(I4B) :: facetNum = 8, facetType = 3
INTEGER(I4B) :: cellNumbers(2)

cellNumbers = mesh%GetCellNumber(facetNum, facetType)

PRINT*, "Master cell:", cellNumbers(1)
PRINT*, "Slave cell:", cellNumbers(2)
