Function Documentation

ex_put_node_set_param()

int ex_put_node_set_param	(	int	exoid,
		ex_entity_id	node_set_id,
		int64_t	num_nodes_in_set,
		int64_t	num_dist_in_set
	)

Deprecated:

Use ex_put_set_param()(exoid, EX_NODE_SET, node_set_id, num_nodes_in_set, num_dist_in_set)

The function ex_put_node_set_param() writes the node set ID, the number of nodes which describe a single node set, and the number of node set distribution factors for the node set.

Returns

In case of an error, ex_put_node_set_param() returns a negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible causes of errors include:

• data file not properly opened with call to ex_create() or ex_open()
• data file opened for read only.
• data file not initialized properly with call to ex_put_init().
• the number of node sets specified in the call to ex_put_init() was zero or has been exceeded.
• a node set with the same ID has already been stored.
• the specified number of distribution factors is not zero and is not equal to the number of nodes.

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]	node_set_id	The node set ID.
[in]	num_nodes_in_set	The number of nodes in the node set.
[in]	num_dist_in_set	The number of distribution factors in the node set. This should be either 0 (zero) for no factors, or should equal num_nodes_in_set.

The following code segment will write out a node set to an open exodus file :

int id, num_nodes_in_set, num_dist_in_set, error, exoid, *node_list;
float *dist_fact;

\comment{write node set parameters}
id = 20; num_nodes_in_set = 5; num_dist_in_set = 5;
error = ex_put_node_set_param(exoid, id, num_nodes_in_set, 
                              num_dist_in_set);

\comment{write node set node list}
node_list = (int *) calloc (num_nodes_in_set, sizeof(int));
node_list[0] = 100; node_list[1] = 101; node_list[2] = 102;
node_list[3] = 103; node_list[4] = 104;

error = ex_put_node_set(exoid, id, node_list);

\comment{write node set distribution factors}
dist_fact = (float *) calloc (num_dist_in_set, sizeof(float));
dist_fact[0] = 1.0; dist_fact[1] = 2.0; dist_fact[2] = 3.0;
dist_fact[3] = 4.0; dist_fact[4] = 5.0;

error = ex_put_node_set_dist_fact(exoid, id, dist_fact);

\comment{Same result using non-deprecated functions}
error = ex_put_set_param(exoid, EX_NODE_SET, id, num_nodes_in_set, num_dist_in_set);
error = ex_put_set(exoid, EX_NODE_SET, id, node_list);
error = ex_put_set_dist_fact(exoid, EX_NODE_SET, id, dist_fact);
