Parameters

DispEntity

Entity

NCount

Number of elements

Return Value

Array of element data:

[

     E₁, N₁E₁, N₂E₁, N₃E₁, N₄E₁, N₅E₁, N₆E₁, N₇E₁, N₈E₁, N₉E₁, N₁₀E₁, X₁, Y₁, Z₁, AR₁, JR₁,

     E₂, N₁E₂, N₂E₂, N₃E₂, N₄E₂, N₅E₂, N₆E₂, N₇E₂, N₈E₂, N₉E₂, N₁₀E₂, X₂, Y₂, Z₂, AR₂, JR₂,

     ...,

     E_i, N₁E_i, N2E_i, N3E_i, N4E_i, N5E_i, N6E_i, N7E_i, N8E_i, N9E_i, N10E_i, X_i, Y_i, Z_i, AR_i, JR_i

]

where:

• E_i = i^th element number
• N₁E_i to N₁₀E_i = Node numbers associated with element E_i; returns 10 node numbers for higher order solid elements; returns -1 for shells and lower order meshes.
• X_i, Y_i, Z_i = x, y and z coordinates of center of E_i 
• AR_i  = Aspect ratio for element E_i
• JR_i  = Jacobian ratio for element E_i; returns -1 if not applicable
