udfGetNicCrd()

Return the nodal coordinates for the nodal initial condition.

Syntax

crd = udfGetNicCrd( udfHd ) ;

Type

AcuSolve User-Defined Name Initial Condition

Parameters

udfHd
The opaque handle (pointer) which was passed to the user function.

Return Value

crd (Real*)
Pointer to two dimensional real array of nodal coordinates. The first (fastest) dimension of the array is the number of nodes, nItems, and the second (slowest) dimension is three for the x, y and z coordinates.

Description

This routine returns the nodal coordinates. If mesh displacement is active, the returned coordinates are for the current (deformed) configuration. For example,
Real* crd ;
Real x, y, z ;
Integer node ;
...
crd = udfGetNicCrd( udfHd ) ;
for ( node = 0 ; node < nItems ; node++ ) {
   x = crd[0*nItems+node] ;
   y = crd[1*nItems+node] ;
   z = crd[2*nItems+node] ;
   ...
}

Errors

  • This routine expects a valid udfHd.
  • This routine may only be called within a Nodal Initial Condition user function.
