[Libmesh-users] Get the n_nodes for a certain bid?

[Yuxiang W. <yw...@vi...>]

Dear all,

Sorry for the spam again.

Quick question: how do I get the n_nodes for a certain boundary set (given
bid)? I know I can do:

MeshBase::const_node_iterator nodeit =
mesh.bid_nodes_begin(NODE_BOUNDARY_ID);
const MeshBase::const_node_iterator node_end =
mesh.bid_nodes_end(NODE_BOUNDARY_ID);

to loop through all the nodes, but would there be a way to find out how
many nodes are there in the same set?

Best,
Shawn

Just std::distance, I believe.

This might be a bit slow, depending on what else you are doing. Another
possibility would be to call:

std::vector<std::tuple<dof_id_type, boundary_id_type>> vec
  = mesh.get_boundary_info().build_node_list();

which returns a vector of _all_ the (node_id, boundary_id) pairs in the
mesh (they will be sorted by node_id). You could then count up the number
of entries with a specific boundary_id as needed...

Thank you Roy & John! That's great help. Appreciate it :)
