class TestPapillaryFibreCalculator

Detailed Description

Assigns fibre orientation vectors for papillary muscle structures. Vectors are assigned to be parallel to the direction of the axis of the muscle. To do this we use the "Structure Tensor" method.

std::vector< c_vector< double, 3 > > PapillaryFibreCalculator::CalculateFibreOrientations ( )

Main method - calculate the fibre orientations

Returns:
A fibre vector for each element

References ConstructStructureTensors(), AbstractTetrahedralMesh< ELEMENT_DIM, SPACE_DIM >::GetNumElements(), GetRadiusVectors(), mrMesh, mSmoothedStructureTensors, and SmoothStructureTensors().

void PapillaryFibreCalculator::ConstructStructureTensors ( ) [private]

This generates structure tensors from the radial vectors by taking

T = r.r'

c_vector< double, 3 > PapillaryFibreCalculator::GetRadiusVectorForOneElement ( unsigned  elementIndex) [private]

This method calculates the vector from the centroid of an element to all of the boundary nodes. It returns the shortest of the vectors.

Parameters:
elementIndexThe index of the element we are calculating radial vectors for
Returns:
The shortest radial vector

void PapillaryFibreCalculator::GetRadiusVectors ( ) [private]
void PapillaryFibreCalculator::SmoothStructureTensors ( ) [private]

Smoothes the structure tensor components for each papillary element by looping over all other papillary elements, calculating distance geometric distance between the two elements; if it is within a certain limit, include this in the Gaussian kernel

Here mStructureTensors[i] is the 'rough' tensor for each element and mSmoothedStructureTensors[i] is the smoothed tensor for each element
