How can I find a Element from Mesh, when I have only one point.

Hallo, I'm trying to find a element in the PDE-Model. I mean, how kan I get the nomber of Element when i have only a point region.x and region.y. I tried:

for i=1:ne
EN=findElements(mesh,'attached',[region.x(i);region.y(i)]); 
end

sorry for my English

You will get all the elements which share this point. Is that okay?

[Andreas Nick]

No, unfortunately not. I am looking for the element in which the point is located.

[KSSV]

Does the point lie inside the element? Or it is a node?

[Andreas Nick]

The point lie inside the element and it is not a node.

Please try this and see if this works you:

N_ID = findNodes(mesh,'nearest',[region.x(i);region.y(i)]);
En = findElements(mesh,'attached',N_ID);
