TL;DR
This pull request includes the addition of the 'GetElementIndex' method in the
Geometry
module. This new method returns the index of an element based on its topology.What changed?
The changes can be noted in 'src/modules/Geometry/src/ReferenceElement_Method.F90' and 'src/submodules/Geometry/src/ReferenceElement_Method@GeometryMethods.F90'. A new function, 'GetElementIndex', has been added which returns the index of geometric elements like Point, Line, Triangle, Quadrangle, Tetrahedron, Hexahedron, Prism, and Pyramid based on their type.
How to test?
To validate these updates, build the project and validate that the new method correctly returns the expected indices when called with different geometric shapes.
Why make this change?
This change was needed as there was no method present earlier to retrieve the index of a geometric element based on its type. Hence, this new method 'GetElementIndex' would improve the functionality of the Geometry module.
