Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim>
class FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >

A class representing a view to a set of dim*dim components forming a second-order tensor from a vector-valued finite element. Views are discussed in the Handling vector valued problems topic.

This class allows to query the value, gradient and divergence of (components of) shape functions and solutions representing tensors. The divergence of a tensor \(T_{ij},\, 0\le i,j<\text{dim}\) is defined as \(d_i = \sum_j \frac{\partial T_{ij}}{\partial x_j}, \, 0\le i<\text{dim}\), whereas its gradient is \(G_{ijk} = \frac{\partial T_{ij}}{\partial x_k}\).

You get an object of this type if you apply a FEValuesExtractors::Tensor to an FEValues, FEFaceValues or FESubfaceValues object.

value()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

value_type FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::value	(	const unsigned int	shape_function,
		const unsigned int	q_point
	)		const

Return the value of the vector components selected by this view, for the shape function and quadrature point selected by the arguments. Here, since the view represents a vector-valued part of the FEValues object with (dim*dim) components (the unique components of a second-order tensor), the return type is a tensor of rank 2.

Parameters

shape_function	Number of the shape function to be evaluated. Note that this number runs from zero to dofs_per_cell, even in the case of an FEFaceValues or FESubfaceValues object.
q_point	Number of the quadrature point at which function is to be evaluated.

Note

For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_values flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

divergence()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

divergence_type FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::divergence	(	const unsigned int	shape_function,
		const unsigned int	q_point
	)		const

Return the vector divergence of the vector components selected by this view, for the shape function and quadrature point selected by the arguments.

See the general discussion of this class for a definition of the divergence.

Note

The meaning of the arguments is as documented for the value() function.

For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting.

template<int dim, int spacedim>

gradient_type FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::gradient	(	const unsigned int	shape_function,
		const unsigned int	q_point
	)		const

Return the gradient (3-rd order tensor) of the vector components selected by this view, for the shape function and quadrature point selected by the arguments.

See the general discussion of this class for a definition of the gradient.

Note

get_function_values()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

template<typename Number >

void FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::get_function_values	(	const ReadVector< Number > &	fe_function,
		std::vector< solution_value_type< Number > > &	values
	)		const

Return the values of the selected vector components of the finite element function characterized by fe_function at the quadrature points of the cell, face or subface selected the last time the reinit function of the FEValues object was called.

This function is the equivalent of the FEValuesBase::get_function_values function but it only works on the selected vector components.

The data type stored by the output vector must be what you get when you multiply the values of shape functions (i.e., value_type) times the type used to store the values of the unknowns \(U_j\) of your finite element vector \(U\) (represented by the fe_function argument).

Note

For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_values flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object.

get_function_values_from_local_dof_values()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

template<class InputVector >

void FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::get_function_values_from_local_dof_values	(	const InputVector &	dof_values,
		std::vector< solution_value_type< typename InputVector::value_type > > &	values
	)		const

Same as above, but using a vector of local degree-of-freedom values. In other words, instead of extracting the nodal values of the degrees of freedom located on the current cell from a global vector associated with a DoFHandler object (as the function above does), this function instead takes these local nodal values through its first argument. A typical way to obtain such a vector is by calling code such as

cell->get_dof_values (dof_values, local_dof_values);

(See DoFCellAccessor::get_dof_values() for more information on this function.) The point of the current function is then that one could modify these local values first, for example by applying a limiter or by ensuring that all nodal values are positive, before evaluating the finite element field that corresponds to these local values on the current cell. Another application is where one wants to postprocess the solution on a cell into a different finite element space on every cell, without actually creating a corresponding DoFHandler – in that case, all one would compute is a local representation of that postprocessed function, characterized by its nodal values; this function then allows the evaluation of that representation at quadrature points.

Parameters

[in]	dof_values	A vector of local nodal values. This vector must have a length equal to number of DoFs on the current cell, and must be ordered in the same order as degrees of freedom are numbered on the reference cell.
[out]	values	A vector of values of the given finite element field, at the quadrature points on the current object.

Template Parameters

InputVector

The InputVector type must allow creation of an ArrayView object from it; this is satisfied by the std::vector class, among others.

get_function_divergences()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

template<typename Number >

void FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::get_function_divergences	(	const ReadVector< Number > &	fe_function,
		std::vector< solution_divergence_type< Number > > &	divergences
	)		const

Return the divergence of the selected vector components of the finite element function characterized by fe_function at the quadrature points of the cell, face or subface selected the last time the reinit function of the FEValues object was called.

There is no equivalent function such as FEValuesBase::get_function_divergences in the FEValues classes but the information can be obtained from FEValuesBase::get_function_gradients, of course.

See the general discussion of this class for a definition of the divergence.

The data type stored by the output vector must be what you get when you multiply the divergences of shape functions (i.e., divergence_type) times the type used to store the values of the unknowns \(U_j\) of your finite element vector \(U\) (represented by the fe_function argument).

Note

For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_gradients flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object.

		std::vector< solution_divergence_type< typename InputVector::value_type > > &	divergences
	)		const

This function relates to get_function_divergences() in the same way as get_function_values_from_local_dof_values() relates to get_function_values(). See the documentation of get_function_values_from_local_dof_values() for more information.

get_function_gradients()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

template<typename Number >

void FEValuesViews::Tensor< 2, dim, spacedim >::get_function_gradients	(	const ReadVector< Number > &	fe_function,
		std::vector< solution_gradient_type< Number > > &	gradients
	)		const

Return the gradient of the selected vector components of the finite element function characterized by fe_function at the quadrature points of the cell, face or subface selected the last time the reinit function of the FEValues object was called.

See the general discussion of this class for a definition of the gradient.

The data type stored by the output vector must be what you get when you multiply the gradients of shape functions (i.e., gradient_type) times the type used to store the values of the unknowns \(U_j\) of your finite element vector \(U\) (represented by the fe_function argument).

Note

For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting.

	)		const

This function relates to get_function_gradients() in the same way as get_function_values_from_local_dof_values() relates to get_function_values(). See the documentation of get_function_values_from_local_dof_values() for more information.
