struct.link.id

Syntax

i = struct.link.id(p)

Get the structural link ID number. This is defined as the ID number of the first element connected to the link host node and is not to be confused with the component-ID number.

Note

Unlike other objects in FLAC3D, ID numbers for structural objects (elements, links, and nodes) refer to collections of elements and associated objects created together and representing a single overall structure. For structural objects, the unique, internally assigned ID number associated with the object is called the component-ID number. See the struct.link.id.component function.

Returns:i - the structural link ID number Arguments:p - a pointer to a structural link
