3.18.1.3 Element_Data Class

The element_data class defines a set of element variables. The data is stored for each element that is listed in the item list of the element_data element or for all nodes if no list is defined. The following element variables are defined. Note that the actual value is the average over the element's integration points values (if applicable).
