Element Type¶
Element Type is a scalar coefficient with one value for each cell. It gives
the shape of the cell as a number:
| Value | Shape |
|---|---|
| 2 | Triangle |
| 3 | Quadrilateral |
| 4 | Tetrahedron |
| 5 | Hexahedron |
| 6 | Prism |
| 7 | Pyramid |
Use it to check a mixed mesh, for example a mesh with prism layers at a surface and tetrahedra in the volume.
