Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >

Contains all data vectors for FEValues. This class has been extracted from FEValuesBase to be handed over to the fill functions of Mapping and FiniteElement.

Note:
All data fields are public, but this is not critical, because access to this object is private in FEValues.

The purpose of this class is discussed on the page on The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping and FiniteElement in FEValues.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
typedef Table<2,double> FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::ShapeVector

Storage type for shape values. Each row in the matrix denotes the values of a single shape function at the different points, columns are for a single point with the different shape functions.

If a shape function has more than one non-zero component (in deal.II diction: it is non-primitive), then we allocate one row per non-zero component, and shift subsequent rows backward. Lookup of the correct row for a shape function is thus simple in case the entire finite element is primitive (i.e. all shape functions are primitive), since then the shape function number equals the row number. Otherwise, use the shape_function_to_row_table array to get at the first row that belongs to this particular shape function, and navigate among all the rows for this shape function using the FiniteElement::get_nonzero_components() function which tells us which components are non-zero and thus have a row in the array presently under discussion.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
typedef std::vector<std::vector<Tensor<1,spacedim> > > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::GradientVector

Storage type for gradients. The layout of data is the same as for the ShapeVector data type.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
typedef std::vector<std::vector<Tensor<2,spacedim> > > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::HessianVector

Likewise for second order derivatives.

Member Data Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
ShapeVector FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::shape_values

Store the values of the shape functions at the quadrature points. See the description of the data type for the layout of the data in this field.

Definition at line 1417 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
GradientVector FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::shape_gradients

Store the gradients of the shape functions at the quadrature points. See the description of the data type for the layout of the data in this field.

Definition at line 1427 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
HessianVector FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::shape_hessians

Store the 2nd derivatives of the shape functions at the quadrature points. See the description of the data type for the layout of the data in this field.

Definition at line 1437 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<double> FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::JxW_values

Store an array of weights times the Jacobi determinant at the quadrature points. This function is reset each time reinit() is called. The Jacobi determinant is actually the reciprocal value of the Jacobi matrices stored in this class, see the general documentation of this class for more information.

However, if this object refers to an FEFaceValues or FESubfaceValues object, then the JxW_values correspond to the Jacobian of the transformation of the face, not the cell, i.e. the dimensionality is that of a surface measure, not of a volume measure. In this case, it is computed from the boundary forms, rather than the Jacobian matrix.

Definition at line 1466 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Tensor<2,spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::jacobians

Array of the Jacobian matrices at the quadrature points.

Definition at line 1472 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Tensor<3,spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::jacobian_grads

Array of the derivatives of the Jacobian matrices at the quadrature points.

Definition at line 1478 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Tensor<2,spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::inverse_jacobians

Array of the inverse Jacobian matrices at the quadrature points.

Definition at line 1484 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Point<spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::quadrature_points

Array of quadrature points. This array is set up upon calling reinit() and contains the quadrature points on the real element, rather than on the reference element.

Definition at line 1493 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Point<spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::normal_vectors

List of outward normal vectors at the quadrature points. This field is filled in by the finite element class.

Definition at line 1500 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Tensor<1,spacedim> > FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::boundary_forms

List of boundary forms at the quadrature points. This field is filled in by the finite element class.

Definition at line 1507 of file fe_values.h.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<unsigned int> FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::shape_function_to_row_table

Indicate the first row which a given shape function occupies in the shape_values, shape_gradients and shape_hessians arrays. If all shape functions are primitive, then this is the identity mapping. If, on the other hand some shape functions have more than one non-zero vector components, then they may occupy more than one row, and this array indicates which is the first one.

The questions which particular vector component occupies which row for a given shape function is answered as follows: we allocate one row for each non-zero component as indicated by the FiniteElement::get_nonzero_components() function, and the rows are in ascending order exactly those non-zero components.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
UpdateFlags FEValuesData< dim, spacedim >::update_flags

Original update flags handed to the constructor of FEValues.
