2.3. Details of the Mesh Import API

This section contains information about the functions that are used to write a customized import executable in the Mesh Import API.

Before trying to use any of the routines listed in this section, it is highly recommended that you read Creating a Custom Mesh Import Executable for CFX-Pre.

This section contains details of:

Defined Constants
Initialization Routines
Termination Routines
Error Handling Routines
Node Routines
Element Routines
Primitive Region Routines
Composite Regions Routines
Explicit Node Pairing
Fortran Interface
Unsupported Routines Previously Available in the API

Note: In past releases of Ansys CFX the API has defined IDs of nodes and elements as integers (int). This release now uses a datatype ID_t to represent these quantities. This type is currently defined as an unsigned integer (unsigned int). This allows a greater number of nodes and elements to be imported than in the past.
