element_conn

Part.element_conn(elem_type: int, rank: int | None = None) → array

For “zoo” element types, return the part element connectivity for the specified element type.

Parameters:

elem_typeint

The element type. All but NFACED and NSIDED element types are allowed.

rankint, optional

For a dataset using multiple ranks, the rank to return data from. The default is RankValues.SINGLE_RANK.

Returns:

numpy.array

A numpy array of the node indices.

Examples

>>> part = reader.parts()[0]
>>> conn = part.element_conn(libuserd.ElementType.HEX08)
>>> nodes_per_elem = libuserd_instance.nodes_per_element(libuserd.ElementType.HEX08)
>>> conn.shape = (len(conn)//nodes_per_elem, nodes_per_elem)
>>> for element in conn:
...  print(element)
