Detailed Description

Abstract base element class.

Derive this class to create new finite element classes. All derived classes must define:

Ke(): Function to calculate the element stiffness matrix in global coordinate system.
Fe(): Function to calculate the element force vector in global coordinate system.
uDOF(): Provide a pointer to storage of i-th DOF displacement in the element.
Clone(): Function that creates a duplicate of current element and returns a pointer to it.

and optionally (if required):

Read(): Reads element data from the stream f. assume that the stream position is already where the element data starts. Take care of the error checking.
Write(): Writes element data to the stream.
Draw(): Draws the element on the device context (Windows only).

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...).

virtual int itk::fem::FEMLightObject::ClassID ( ) const

pure virtualinherited

Returns the class ID of the object. This function is used to determine the class of the object without having to use the dynamic_cast operator.

Note:: Class must be registered with the FEMObjectFactory in order to create the class ID. Abstract classes don't define this function.

Referenced by itk::fem::FEMLightObject::Write().

virtual Baseclass::Pointer itk::fem::FEMLightObject::Clone ( ) const

pure virtualinherited

Duplicates the currect object. This function must be implemented by every derived class to create an exact copy of an object. The function returns a pointer to a base class.

FEMLightObject::Pointer itk::fem::FEMLightObject::CreateFromStream	(	std::istream &	f,
		void *	info
	)

staticinherited

Read object of any derived type from stream.

This static function creates an object of a class, which is derived from FEMLightObject. The class of object is first determined from the stream, then the object of that class is constructed using the FEMObjectFactory. Finally the data for this object is read from the stream, by calling the Read() member function.

Read and create object of any derived class from stream

 Catch possible exceptions while 
 reading object's data from stream

 Return a pointer to a newly created object if all was OK
 Technically everithing should be fine here (a!=0), but we
 check again, just in case.

 Something went wrong.
 Reset the stream position to where it was before reading the object.

	)		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.

virtual void itk::fem::Element::GetLoadVector	(	LoadPointer	l,
		VectorType &	Fe
	)		const

pure virtual

Compute and return the element load vector for a given external load. The class of load object determines the type of load acting on the elemnent. Basically this is the contribution of this element on the right side of the master matrix equation, due to the specified load. Returned vector includes only nodal forces that correspond to the given Load object.

Visitor design pattern is used in the loads implementation. This function only selects and calls the proper function based on the given class of load object. The code that performs the actual conversion to the corresponding nodal loads is defined elswhere.

Note:: Each derived class must implement its own version of this function. This is automated by calling the LOAD_FUNCTION() macro within the class declaration (in the public: block).

For example on how to define specific element load, see funtion LoadImplementationPoint_Bar2D.

Note:: : Before a load can be applied to an element, the function that implements a load must be registered with the VisitorDispactcher class.

Parameters:

l	Pointer to a load object.
Fe	Reference to vector object that will store nodal forces.

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

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.

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.

virtual

Return interpolated value of all unknown functions at given local point.

Parameters:

pt	Point in local element coordinates.
sol	Reference to the master solution object. This object is created by the Solver object when the whole FEM problem is solved and contains the values of unknown functions at nodes (degrees of freedom).
solutionIndex	We allow more than one solution vector to be stored - this selects which to use in interpolation.

void itk::fem::Element::Jacobian	(	const VectorType &	pt,
		MatrixType &	J,
		const MatrixType *	pshapeD = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Compute the Jacobian matrix of the transformation from local to global coordinates at a given local point.

A column in this matrix corresponds to a global coordinate, while a row corresponds to different local coordinates. E.g. element at row 2, col 3 contains derivative of the third global coordinate with respect to local coordinate number 2.

In order to compute the Jacobian, we normally need the shape function derivatives. If they are known, you should pass a pointer to an object of MatrixType that contains the shape function derivatives. If they are not known, pass null pointer and they will be computed automatically.

Parameters:

pt	Point in local coordinates
J	referece to matrix object, which will contain the jacobian
pshapeD	A pointer to derivatives of shape functions at point pt. If this pointer is 0, derivatives will be computed as necessary.

void itk::fem::FEMLightObject::Read	(	std::istream &	f,
		void *	info
	)

virtualinherited

Read an object data from input stream. Call this member to initialize the data members in the current object by reading data from provided input stream. Derived classes should first call the the parent's read function, to initialize the data from parent. Note that you must manually create the object of desired type using the FEMObjectFactory before you can call read function (this is pretty obvious). In this class only the global number is read from file. Derived classes may require some additional info in order to perform the reading. Pack this info in an object and pass a pointer to it in the info parameter. If you need runtime typechecking, use a polymorphic class and dynamic_cast operator inside the implementation of Read.

Here we just read the global number from the stream. This should be the first function called when reading object data.

Read and set the global object number

void itk::fem::FEMLightObject::Write ( std::ostream & f ) const

virtualinherited

Write an object to the output stream. Call this member to write the data members in the current object to the output stream. Here we also need to know which derived class we actually are, so that we can write the class name. The class name is obtained by calling the virtual ClassID() member function and passing the result to the FEMObjectFactory.

Implementations of Write member funtion in derived classes should first call the parent's implementation of Write and finaly write whatever they need.

Here we just write the class name and GN. This should be the first function called when writing object data, so every derived class should first call the parent's write function. The Write function in base (this one) class knows which class is being written by calling the virtual ClassID() function and can write the class name properly.

Points for 1D Gauss-Legendre integration from -1 to 1. First index is order of integration, second index is the number of integration point.

Example: gaussPoint[4][2] returns third point of the 4th order integration rule. Subarray gaussPoint[0][...] does not provide useful information. It is there only to keep order index correct.
