Detailed Description

A fundamental unit within the discretization of a problem domain, including but not limited to nodes, edges, sides, and elements.

Entities are distributed among parallel processors. A given entity may reside on more than one processor; however, it is owned by exactly one of the processors on which it resides.

Note that an Entity's state comprises:

• existence - Whether this entity has been created and is not destroyed
• owner - The rank of the owning process
• part-membership - The set of parts this entity belongs to
• relations - Relationships between other Entities When any of the above changes, the Entity's log state may change

size_t stk_classic::mesh::Entity::synchronized_count

(

)

const [inline]

The mesh bulk data synchronized_count when this entity's part membership was most recently modified.

If ( mesh.synchronized_state() == false && mesh.synchronized_count() == entity.synchronized_count() ) then entity was modified during this modification phase.
