Number and Types of Elements
To determine the number of elements of a certain type, use
int model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).stat().getNumElem(type);
To get the number of elements of all types, use
int model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).stat().getNumElem();
To determine the element types, use
String[] model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).stat().getTypes();
If the current selection is not the entire geometry, only elements and types in the current selection is returned. You can also use the methods
int model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).getNumElem(type);
int model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).getNumElem();
String[] model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).getTypes();
to obtain information about the entire geometry.
To check whether the mesh contains any second-order element, use
boolean model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).hasSecondOrderElements();
