- Elements <Elemtype> ?<first_id>? ?<last_id>? ?-sublist|-array|-array2? ?-avoid_frozen_layers? ?-layer <layername>? ?-group <groupname>?: ?-orphan?
Returns a list with the element numbers, the connectivities , radius if it is a sphere, normal if it is a circle, and the material number, from 'first_id' to 'last_id, if they are specified.

Modifiers:
-sublist : Instead of a flat list it returns each result item as a Tcl list (enclosed in braces)
-array : Instead of a flat list it returns the results as a list of objarrays (more efficient).
For 'Nodes' it returns a list with 1 objarray for the NodeIDs and a list with 3 objarrays: the X coordinates, the Y coordinates and the Z coordinates.
For 'Elements' it returns a list with the element type, an objarray with the element id's, a list with an objarray for each node of the connectivity (i.e. for a triangle an objarray for all node1, another for the node2 and another for the node3), and an objarray for the material id of the elements.
-array2 : Instead of a flat list it returns the results as a list of objarrays (more efficient).
For 'Nodes' it returns a list with 2 objarrays: one for the NodeIDs and another for the xyz coordinates.
For 'Elements' it returns a list with the element type, an objarray with the element id's, an objarray for all the connectivities (i.e. for a triangle an objarray with node1-node2-node3-node1-node2-node3), and an objarray for the material id of the elements.
An 'objarray' is a Tcl_Obj object specialized for arrays, implemented as a Tcl package named 'objarray'. (for more information see the local file <GiD>/scripts/objarray/objarray.pdf)
-avoid_frozen_layers : to ignore nodes or elements of frozen layers
-layer <layername> : to get only nodes of element of this layer
-group <groupname> : to get only nodes of element of this group
-orphan : for elements only, to get elements that do not belong the the mesh of any geometrical entity
- EmbeddedDistances: Returns a list with 2 items, the objarray of ids of the nodes (integers) and the objarray of distances to the boundary (doubles). This information is only available meshing with embedded mesh type
