# DMMoabGetFieldDofsLocal
Gets the local degrees-of-freedom of a field (component) defined on an array of MOAB EntityHandles.
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmmoab.h"
PetscErrorCode DMMoabGetFieldDofsLocal(DM dm, PetscInt npoints, const moab::EntityHandle *points, PetscInt field, PetscInt *dof)
```
Not Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***dm -*** the discretization manager object
- ***npoints -*** the total number of Entities in the points array
