I checked it, but its not working, it tried also in defining the polygon clockwise and counterclockwise.
But if i use WRITE(LU,*) IELEM, XEL(IELEM,1),YEL(IELEM,1)
To see what the coordinates are, i get that they are relative coordinated.
XEL(IELEM,1) is allways 0, and XEL(IELEM,2) is the distance from corner node 1 to 2...
so its quite obvious why no node is inside the polygon..and further why they are named as mesh coordinates..
So i have to think of something else to specify elements inside a defined area.
But thanks a lot for your help!
