Size

Inheritence

This method is inherited from the AbstractMesh class.

Size

The Size method returns the total number of elements in the mesh. This is equivalent to GetTotalElements() and is provided as an alternative naming for the same functionality.

Interface

INTERFACE
  MODULE FUNCTION SIZE(obj) RESULT(ans)
    CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(IN) :: obj
    !! mesh object
    INTEGER(I4B) :: ans
  END FUNCTION Size
END INTERFACE

Syntax

numElements = mesh%SIZE()

Parameters

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

Return Value

Type	Description
INTEGER(I4B)	Total number of elements in the mesh

Description

Size returns the total number of elements in the mesh. This method provides a convenient way to determine the mesh size for array allocation and iteration purposes. It is functionally equivalent to GetTotalElements().

Example Usage

TYPE(Mesh_) :: mesh
INTEGER(I4B) :: numElements

! Initialize mesh...

! Get the total number of elements
numElements = mesh%SIZE()

PRINT *, "The mesh contains", numElements, "elements"
