DOF probe

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

Can we have a DOF or mesh element count probe? I am running a very large scale mesh studies and I need to have a measure of cost, in some way.

Many thanks,
Danial

You can see the number of elements through Mesh>Statistics.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, correct. But I need it as variable to plot since I am running a parametric study.

Define a Maximum coupling operator with operator name maxop1. Then use the predefined variable "meshelement" to get the total number of mesh elements using:

maxop1(meshelement)

You can plot this v.s. your parameter in postprocessing.

Exactly what I wanted. Working as advertised.

Thank you!
