Detailed Description

class FEComputeData hides arbitrary data to be passed to and from children of FEBase through the FEInterface::compute_data() method.

This enables the efficient computation of data on the finite element level, while maintaining library integrity.

• With special finite elements disabled (like infinite elements), this class wraps the return values of all shape functions from FEInterface::shape() in a std::vector<Number>.
• With infinite elements enabled, this class returns a vector of physically correct shape functions, both for finite and infinite elements.

Member Function Documentation

clear()

void libMesh::FEComputeData::clear

(

)

Clears the output data completely.

Referenced by FEComputeData().

disable_derivative()

void libMesh::FEComputeData::disable_derivative

(

)

Disable the computation of shape gradients (dshape).

Default is disabled.

Definition at line 137 of file fe_compute_data.h.

References _need_dshape.

  {_need_dshape=false; }

enable_derivative()

void libMesh::FEComputeData::enable_derivative

(

)

Enable the computation of shape gradients (dshape).

init()

void libMesh::FEComputeData::init

(

)

Inits the output data to default values, provided the fields are correctly resized.

bool libMesh::FEComputeData::need_derivative

(

)

Check whether derivatives should be computed or not.

  {return _need_dshape; }

Member Data Documentation

_need_dshape

bool libMesh::FEComputeData::_need_dshape

private

variable indicating whether the shape-derivative should be computed or not.

Default is false to save time and be compatible with elements where derivatives are not implemented/ cannot be computed.

Definition at line 152 of file fe_compute_data.h.

Referenced by disable_derivative(), and need_derivative().

dshape

std::vector<Gradient> libMesh::FEComputeData::dshape

Storage for the computed shape derivative values.

Definition at line 86 of file fe_compute_data.h.

equation_systems

const EquationSystems& libMesh::FEComputeData::equation_systems

Const reference to the EquationSystems object that contains simulation-specific data.

Definition at line 71 of file fe_compute_data.h.

frequency

Number libMesh::FEComputeData::frequency

The frequency to evaluate shape functions including the wave number depending terms.

Use imaginary contributions for exponential damping

Definition at line 114 of file fe_compute_data.h.

local_transform

std::vector<std::vector<Real> > libMesh::FEComputeData::local_transform

Storage for local to global mapping at p.

This is needed when the gradient in physical coordinates is of interest. FIXME: What kind of type should one use for it? The matrix-class don't look as if they were made for it and neither are the TensorTool-members.

Definition at line 96 of file fe_compute_data.h.

p

const Point& libMesh::FEComputeData::p

Holds the point where the data are to be computed.

Definition at line 76 of file fe_compute_data.h.

phase

Real libMesh::FEComputeData::phase

Storage for the computed phase lag.

Definition at line 102 of file fe_compute_data.h.

shape

std::vector<Number> libMesh::FEComputeData::shape

Storage for the computed shape function values.

Definition at line 81 of file fe_compute_data.h.

speed

Real libMesh::FEComputeData::speed

The wave speed.

Definition at line 107 of file fe_compute_data.h.
