Detailed Description

General abstract load base class.

All other load classes that can be used in a FEM system are defined by deriving this one. The load class defines an external load that acts on the system. For each specific subtype of load, a separate load abstract class should be derived. For example we have LoadElement, which defines the base for all loads that act on a specific element in a system.

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

virtual void itk::fem::Load::SetSolution ( Solution::ConstPointer  ) [inline, virtual]

Sets the pointer to solution vector. This function is automatically called by the Solver class on every load object.

Some types of external Loads may need access to previous values of solution vector. If a derived class needs that, it should implement this function, and store the passed pointer accordingly. If the result vector is not required, the functionn should be left unimplemented, so that only the dummy implementation in base class is called.

param ptr Pointer to the object of Solution class.

Reimplemented in itk::fem::ImageMetricLoad< TMoving, TFixed >, itk::fem::FiniteDifferenceFunctionLoad< TMoving, TFixed >, and itk::fem::LoadLandmark.
