bool ElementGetGridCount(

const HM_EntityElement & helem,
int & grid_count
);

Description

The element referenced by the handle helem must belong to the mesh referenced by the handlehmesh. That is only the element handles obtained in previous calls to API functions using the same mesh handle hmesh must be used.

The number of grid points for the element is predefined by the element type returned in a call to the function HM_ExtAPI::ElementGetType().

If the function succeeds, the return value is true. If the function fails, the return value is false. To get extended value information, call HM_ExtAPI::GetLastErrorCode().
