◆ UpdateFlags

 enum UpdateFlags

The enum type given to the constructors of FEValues, FEFaceValues and FESubfaceValues, telling those objects which data will be needed on each mesh cell.

Selecting these flags in a restrictive way is crucial for the efficiency of FEValues::reinit(), FEFaceValues::reinit() and FESubfaceValues::reinit(). Therefore, only the flags actually needed should be selected. It is the responsibility of the involved Mapping and FiniteElement to add additional flags according to their own requirements. For instance, most finite elements will add update_covariant_transformation if update_gradients is selected. By default, all flags are off, i.e. no reinitialization will be done.

You can select more than one flag by concatenation using the bitwise or operator|(UpdateFlags,UpdateFlags).

Use of these flags flags

More information on the use of this type both in user code as well as internally can be found in the documentation modules on The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues and How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together.

Enumerator
update_default

No update.

update_values

Shape function values.

Compute the values of the shape functions at the quadrature points on the real space cell. For the usual Lagrange elements, these values are equal to the values of the shape functions at the quadrature points on the unit cell, but they are different for more complicated elements, such as FE_RaviartThomas elements.

update_gradients

Shape function gradients.

Compute the gradients of the shape functions in coordinates of the real cell.

update_hessians

Second derivatives of shape functions.

Compute the second derivatives of the shape functions in coordinates of the real cell.

update_3rd_derivatives

Third derivatives of shape functions.

Compute the third derivatives of the shape functions in coordinates of the real cell

update_boundary_forms

Outer normal vector, not normalized.

Vector product of tangential vectors, yielding a normal vector with a length corresponding to the surface element; may be more efficient than computing both.

update_quadrature_points

Transformed quadrature points.

Compute the quadrature points location in real cell coordinates.

FEValues objects take the quadrature point locations on the reference cell as an argument of the constructor (via the Quadrature object). For most finite elements, knowing the location of quadrature points on the reference cell is all that is necessary to evaluate shape functions, evaluate the mapping, and other things. On the other hand, if you want to evaluate a right hand side function $$f(\mathbf x_q)$$ at quadrature point locations $$\mathbf x_q$$ on the real cell, you need to pass this flag to the FEValues constructor to make sure you can later access them.

In the context of DataPostprocessor, DataPostprocessorInputs::CommonInputs::evaluation_points will be updated.

update_JxW_values

Transformed quadrature weights.

Compute the quadrature weights on the real cell, i.e. the weights of the quadrature rule multiplied with the determinant of the Jacobian of the transformation from reference to real cell.

update_normal_vectors

Normal vectors.

Compute the normal vectors, either for a face or for a cell of codimension one. Setting this flag for any other object will raise an error.

update_jacobians

Volume element.

Compute the Jacobian of the transformation from the reference cell to the real cell.

update_jacobian_grads

Gradient of volume element.

Compute the derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation.

update_inverse_jacobians

Volume element.

Compute the inverse Jacobian of the transformation from the reference cell to the real cell.

update_covariant_transformation

Covariant transformation.

Compute all values the Mapping needs to perform a contravariant transformation of vectors. For special mappings like MappingCartesian this may be simpler than update_inverse_jacobians.

update_contravariant_transformation

Contravariant transformation.

Compute all values the Mapping needs to perform a contravariant transformation of vectors. For special mappings like MappingCartesian this may be simpler than update_jacobians.

update_transformation_values

Shape function values of transformation.

Compute the shape function values of the transformation defined by the Mapping.

update_transformation_gradients

Shape function gradients of transformation.

Compute the shape function gradients of the transformation defined by the Mapping.

update_volume_elements

Determinant of the Jacobian.

Compute the volume element in each quadrature point.

update_jacobian_pushed_forward_grads

Compute the derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation pushed forward to the real cell coordinates.

update_jacobian_2nd_derivatives

Compute the second derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation.

update_jacobian_pushed_forward_2nd_derivatives

Compute the second derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation pushed forward to the real cell coordinates.

update_jacobian_3rd_derivatives

Compute the third derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation.

update_jacobian_pushed_forward_3rd_derivatives

Compute the third derivatives of the Jacobian of the transformation pushed forward to the real cell coordinates.

update_piola

Values needed for Piola transform.

Combination of the flags needed for Piola transform of Hdiv elements.

update_mapping

Combination of the flags that require a mapping calculation

◆ operator<<()

template<class StreamType >
 StreamType & operator<< ( StreamType & s, const UpdateFlags u )
inline

Output operator which outputs update flags as a set of or'd text values.

Definition at line 239 of file fe_update_flags.h.

◆ operator|()

 UpdateFlags operator| ( const UpdateFlags f1, const UpdateFlags f2 )
inline

Global operator which returns an object in which all bits are set which are either set in the first or the second argument. This operator exists since if it did not then the result of the bit-or operator | would be an integer which would in turn trigger a compiler warning when we tried to assign it to an object of type UpdateFlags.

Definition at line 297 of file fe_update_flags.h.

◆ operator|=()

 UpdateFlags & operator|= ( UpdateFlags & f1, const UpdateFlags f2 )
inline

Global operator which sets the bits from the second argument also in the first one.

Definition at line 312 of file fe_update_flags.h.

◆ operator&()

 UpdateFlags operator& ( const UpdateFlags f1, const UpdateFlags f2 )
inline

Global operator which returns an object in which all bits are set which are set in the first as well as the second argument. This operator exists since if it did not then the result of the bit-and operator & would be an integer which would in turn trigger a compiler warning when we tried to assign it to an object of type UpdateFlags.

Definition at line 329 of file fe_update_flags.h.

◆ operator&=()

 UpdateFlags & operator&= ( UpdateFlags & f1, const UpdateFlags f2 )
inline

Global operator which clears all the bits in the first argument if they are not also set in the second argument.

Definition at line 343 of file fe_update_flags.h.
