Detailed Description

Abstract base element class.

Derive this class to create new finite element classes. The storage of element parameters (geometry...) can't be implemented here, since we don't know yet, how much memory each element needs. Instead each derived class should take care of the memory management (declare appropriate data members) for the element parameters and provide access to these parameters (like nodes, materials...).

Derived classes must define the following class methods: GetIntegrationPointAndWeight GetNumberOfIntegrationPoints ShapeFunctions ShapeFunctionDerivatives GetLocalFromGlobalCoordinates JacobianDeterminant JacobianInverse PopulateEdgeIds

These are required for the loads to be properly applied properly to the element.

U = u Ke u

The matrix LocalSolution contains the solution to use in the energy computation. Usually, this is the solution at the nodes.

virtual VectorType itk::fem::Element::GetGlobalFromLocalCoordinates ( const VectorType & pt ) const

virtual

Transforms the given local element coordinates into global.

Parameters

pt	Point in local element coordinates.

virtual void itk::fem::Element::GetIntegrationPointAndWeight	(	unsigned int	i,
		VectorType &	pt,
		Float &	w,
		unsigned int	order = `0`
	)		const

pure virtual

Methods related to numeric integration Computes the vector representing the i-th integration point in local element coordinates for a Gauss-Legendre numerical integration over the element domain. It also computes the weight at this integration point.

Optionally you can also specify the order of integration. If order is not specified, it defaults to 0, which means that the derived element should use the optimal integration order specific for that element.

Note: This function must be implemented in derived element classes, and is expected to provide valid integration points for up to gaussMaxOrder-th order of integration.

Parameters

i	Integration point number 0<=i<GetNumberOfIntegrationPoints()
pt	Reference to object of class VectorType that will hold the integration point.
w	Reference to Float variable that will hold the weight.
order	Order of integration.

See Also: GetNumberOfIntegrationPoints()

virtual void itk::fem::Element::GetLandmarkContributionMatrix	(	float	eta,
		MatrixType &	Le
	)		const

virtual

Compute and return landmark contribution to element stiffness matrix (Le) in global coordinate system.

b             T

int (1/eta)^2 N(x) N(x) dx a

where (eta ) is the landmark weight. Implementation is similar to GetMassMatrix.

virtual bool itk::fem::Element::GetLocalFromGlobalCoordinates	(	const VectorType &	globalPt,
		VectorType &	localPt
	)		const

pure virtual

Transforms the given global element coordinates into local. Returns false if the point is outside.

Parameters

globalPt	Reference to vector containing a point in global (world) coordinates.
localPt	Reference to the vector that will store the local coordinate.

Implemented in itk::fem::Element2DC1Beam, itk::fem::Element3DC0LinearTetrahedron, itk::fem::Element3DC0LinearHexahedron, itk::fem::Element2DC0LinearTriangular, itk::fem::Element2DC0QuadraticTriangular, itk::fem::Element2DC0LinearQuadrilateral, itk::fem::Element3DC0LinearTriangular, and itk::fem::Element2DC0LinearLine.

virtual void itk::fem::Element::GetMassMatrix ( MatrixType & Me ) const

virtual

Compute and return element mass matrix (Me) in global coordinate system.

b   T

int N(x) (rho c) N(x) dx a

where (rho c) is constant (element density), which is here assumed to be equal to one. If this is not the case, this function must be overriden in a derived class. Implementation is similar to GetStiffnessMatrix.

virtual Material::ConstPointer itk::fem::Element::GetMaterial ( void ) const

inlinevirtual

Return the pointer to the Material object used by the element. All derived classes, which use objects of Material class should override this method to provide access to the material from the base class.

Note: Derived Element classes don't have to use a material class, but since the majority of the final Element classes uses Material classes to specify phhysical constants that the element depends on, we provide this virtual function that enables easy access to this pointer from the base class. If the derived class does not override this function, the returned pointer is 0 by default, signaling that there is no Material object.
