# DMMoabGetDofsBlocked
Gets the global degree-of-freedom for the first field (component) defined on an array of MOAB EntityHandles. It is useful when performing Blocked(Get/Set) methods in computation of element residuals and assembly of the discrete systems when all fields are co-located. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdmmoab.h"   
PetscErrorCode DMMoabGetDofsBlocked(DM dm, PetscInt npoints, const moab::EntityHandle *points, PetscInt *dof)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm     -*** the discretization manager object
- ***npoints -*** the total number of Entities in the points array
- ***points -*** the MOAB EntityHandle container array which holds the field degree-of-freedom values



## Output Parameter

- ***dof -*** the blocked global degree-of-freedom index array in the discrete representation (Vec, Mat)
