# ElementIndexer

A single element of a result group, obtained by indexing a ResultIndexer.

The data is split into ``general``, ``topology``, ``material`` and
``results``.

## Examples

```python
stage = gx.get_current_project().get_models_and_stages()[0]
el = stage.output.plate[2]
el.general.material_name
el.topology.nodes
el.results.final_forces.M_y
el.material
```
