.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetElements() As System.Object
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As ICWMesh
Dim value As System.Object
 
value = instance.GetElements()
C# 
System.object GetElements()
C++/CLI 
System.Object^ GetElements(); 

Return Value

Array of the elements of the mesh (see Remarks)

Remarks

Probe functionality.

Array of element data:

where:

  • Ei = ith element number
  • N1Ei to N10Ei = Node numbers associated with element Ei; returns 10 node numbers for higher order solid elements; returns -1 for shells and lower order meshes.
  • Xi, Yi, Zi = x, y and z coordinates of center of Ei 
  • ARi  = Aspect ratio for element Ei
  • JRi  = Jacobian ratio for element Ei; returns -1 if not applicable
