Localize

Purpose

returns the node coordinates and id array of element

Synopsis

[xyz,id] = Localize (Model,el)

Description

LOCALIZE returns the node coordinates and id array of element
  [XYZ,ID] = LOCALIZE (MODEL,EL)
  the function returns the node coordinates XYZ and the id array ID
  of the element with number EL for the structural model specified in data structure MODEL
