Detailed Description

template<class ctype, int dim>
class Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >

This class provides access to geometric and topological properties of a reference element.

This includes its type, the number of subentities, the volume, and a method for checking if a point is contained in the reference element. The embedding of each subentity into the reference element is also provided.

A singleton of this class for a given geometry type can be accessed through the ReferenceElements class.

Template Parameters

ctype	field type for coordinates
dim	dimension of the reference element

Member Function Documentation

§ checkInside()

template<class ctype, int dim>

bool Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::checkInside ( const FieldVector< ctype, dim > & local ) const

inline

check if a coordinate is in the reference element

This method returns true if the given local coordinate is within this reference element.

Parameters

[in] local coordinates of the point

§ geometry()

template<class ctype, int dim>

template<int codim>

Codim< codim >::Geometry Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::geometry ( int i ) const

inline

obtain the embedding of subentity (i,codim) into the reference element

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension codim of the current reference element. This method returns a Dune::AffineGeometry that maps the reference element of E into the current reference element.

Template Parameters

codim codimension of subentity E

Parameters

[in] i number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( codim ))

§ integrationOuterNormal()

template<class ctype, int dim>

const FieldVector< ctype, dim >& Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::integrationOuterNormal ( int face ) const

inline

obtain the integration outer normal of the reference element

The integration outer normal is the outer normal whose length coincides with the face's integration element.

Parameters

[in] face index of the face, whose normal is desired

§ position()

template<class ctype, int dim>

const FieldVector< ctype, dim >& Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::position	(	int	i,
		int	c
	)		const

inline

position of the barycenter of entity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the coordinates of the center of gravity of E within the current reference element.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E

§ size() [1/2]

template<class ctype, int dim>

int Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::size ( int c ) const

inline

number of subentities of codimension c

Parameters

[in] c codimension whose size is desired

§ size() [2/2]

template<class ctype, int dim>

int Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::size	(	int	i,
		int	c,
		int	cc
	)		const

inline

number of subentities of codimension cc of subentity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the number of subentities of codimension cc of the current reference element, that are also a subentity of E.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E
[in]	cc	codimension whose size is desired (c <= cc <= dim)

§ subEntity()

template<class ctype, int dim>

int Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::subEntity	(	int	i,
		int	c,
		int	ii,
		int	cc
	)		const

inline

obtain number of ii-th subentity with codim cc of (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. And denote by S the ii-th subentity of codimension (cc-c) of E. Then, S is a also a subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the number of S with respect to the current reference element.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E
[in]	ii	number of subentity S (with respect to E)
[in]	cc	codimension of subentity S (c <= cc <= dim)

§ type() [1/2]

template<class ctype, int dim>

const GeometryType& Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::type	(	int	i,
		int	c
	)		const

inline

obtain the type of subentity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the GeometryType of E.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E

§ type() [2/2]

template<class ctype, int dim>

const GeometryType& Dune::ReferenceElement< ctype, dim >::type ( ) const

inline

obtain the type of this reference element
