Function Documentation

ex_put_variable_names()

int ex_put_variable_names	(	int	exoid,
		ex_entity_type	obj_type,
		int	num_vars,
		char *	var_names[]
	)

The function ex_put_variable_names() writes the names of the results variables to the database. The names are MAX_STR_LENGTH -characters in length. The function ex_put_variable_param() must be called before this function is invoked.

Returns

In case of an error, ex_put_variable_names() 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 not initialized properly with call to ex_put_init().
• invalid variable type specified.
• ex_put_variable_param() was not called previously or was called with zero variables of the specified type.
• ex_put_variable_names() has been called previously for the specified variable type.

Parameters

[in]	exoid	exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
[in]	obj_type	Variable indicating the type of variable which is described. Use one of the options in the table below.
[in]	num_vars	The number of var_type variables that will be written to the database.
[in]	var_names	Array of pointers to num_vars variable names.

EX_GLOBAL}	Global entity type
EX_NODAL}	Nodal entity type
EX_NODE_SET	Node Set entity type
EX_EDGE_BLOCK	Edge Block entity type
EX_EDGE_SET	Edge Set entity type
EX_FACE_BLOCK	Face Block entity type
EX_FACE_SET	Face Set entity type
EX_ELEM_BLOCK	Element Block entity type
EX_ELEM_SET	Element Set entity type
EX_SIDE_SET	Side Set entity type

The following coding will write out the names associated with the nodal variables:

int num_nod_vars, error, exoid;
char *var_names[2];

\comment{write results variables parameters and names}
num_nod_vars = 2;

var_names[0] = "disx";
var_names[1] = "disy";

error = ex_put_variable_param (exoid, EX_NODAL, num_nod_vars);
error = ex_put_variable_names (exoid, EX_NODAL, num_nod_vars, var_names);
