Detailed Description

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
class AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >

Specialization for 0d elements so we don't get errors from Boost on some compilers.

Definition at line 151 of file AbstractTetrahedralElement.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::AbstractTetrahedralElement ( unsigned  index,
const std::vector< Node< SPACE_DIM > * > &  rNodes 
)

Constructor which takes in a vector of nodes.

Parameters:
indexthe index of the element in the mesh
rNodesthe nodes owned by the element

Specialization for 0d elements so we don't get errors from Boost on some compilers.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::AbstractTetrahedralElement ( unsigned  index = INDEX_IS_NOT_USED)

Default constructor, which doesn't fill in any nodes. The nodes must be added later.

Parameters:
indexthe index of the element in the mesh (defaults to INDEX_IS_NOT_USED)

Definition at line 288 of file AbstractTetrahedralElement.cpp.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
virtual AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::~AbstractTetrahedralElement ( ) [inline, virtual]

Virtual destructor, since this class has virtual methods.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
c_vector< double, SPACE_DIM > AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::CalculateCentroid ( ) const

Get the location of the centroid of the element.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
c_vector< double, SPACE_DIM > AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::CalculateNormal ( )

Compute a unit vector normal to this element, if possible.

Todo:
should throw?

Definition at line 308 of file AbstractTetrahedralElement.cpp.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
void AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::CalculateWeightedDirection ( c_vector< double, SPACE_DIM > &  rWeightedDirection,
double &  rJacobianDeterminant 
)

Compute the weighted direction for this element.

Parameters:
rWeightedDirectionthe weighted direction vector
rJacobianDeterminantthe determinant of the Jacobian

Definition at line 294 of file AbstractTetrahedralElement.cpp.

template<unsigned SPACE_DIM>
void AbstractTetrahedralElement< 0, SPACE_DIM >::GetStiffnessMatrixGlobalIndices ( unsigned  problemDim,
unsigned *  pIndices 
) const

Place in the pIndices array, the global indices (within the stiffness matrix) of the degrees of freedom associated with this element.

Parameters:
problemDimthe problem dimension e.g. 2 for Bidomain.
pIndiceswhere to store results: an unsigned array with ELEMENT_DIM+1 entries.
