element_conn_nsided#
- Part.element_conn_nsided(elem_type: int, rank: int | None = None) List[array]#
For an N-Sided element type (regular or ghost), return the connectivity information for the elements of that type in this part at this timestep.
Two arrays are returned in a list:
num_nodes_per_element : one number per element that represent the number of nodes in that element
nodes : the actual node indices
Arrays are packed sequentially. Walking the elements sequentially, if the number of nodes for an element is 4, then there are 4 entries added to the nodes array for that element.
- Parameters:
- elem_type: int
NSIDED or NSIDED_GHOST.
- rank
int,optional For a dataset using multiple ranks, the rank to return data from. The default is RankValues.SINGLE_RANK.
- Returns:
List[numpy.array]Two numpy arrays: num_nodes_per_element, nodes
