% Creation of an ELEM_TOPO object.

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Syntax
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ET1 = ELEM_TOPO(MO1)

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Description
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% The ELEM_TOPO method is used to create an ELEM_TOPO object. This object
% is used to describe an elementary topology. It has the following
% properties: 
%     - model : MODEL object related to the 
%     - elem  : struct object containing the ELEMENT objects by subdomains
%     such that the type of the ELEMENT is the same in a given subdomain
%          . elem_group : contains the set of ELEMENT objects. 
% 
% The length of the MODEL object should be equal to 1.

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Input arguments
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% MO1  : MODEL object

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Output arguments
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% ET1  : ELEM_TOPO object
