Detailed Description

template<int dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim>, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>
class Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >

This is an interpolation function for the given dof handler and the given solution vector. The points at which this function can be evaluated MUST be inside the domain of the dof handler, but except from this, no other requirement is given. This function is rather slow, as it needs to construct a quadrature object for the point (or set of points) where you want to evaluate your finite element function. In order to do so, it needs to find out where the points lie.

If you know in advance in which cell your points lie, you can accelerate things a bit, by calling set_active_cell before asking for values or gradients of the function. If you don't do this, and your points don't lie in the cell that is currently stored, the function GridTools::find_cell_around_point is called to find out where the point is. You can specify an optional mapping to use when looking for points in the grid. If you don't do so, this function uses a Q1 mapping.

Once the FEFieldFunction knows where the points lie, it creates a quadrature formula for those points, and calls FEValues::get_function_values or FEValues::get_function_gradients with the given quadrature points.

If you only need the quadrature points but not the values of the finite element function (you might want this for the adjoint interpolation), you can also use the function compute_point_locations alone.

An example of how to use this function is the following:

// Generate two triangulations
Triangulation<dim> tria_1;
Triangulation<dim> tria_2;
// Read the triangulations from files, or build them up, or get them
// from some place. Assume that tria_2 is *entirely* included in tria_1.
// Associate a dof handler and a solution to the first triangulation
DoFHandler<dim> dh1 (tria_1);
Vector<double> solution_1;
// Do the same with the second
DoFHandler<dim> dh2 (tria_2);
Vector<double> solution_2;
// Setup the system, assemble matrices, solve problems and get the
// nobel prize on the first domain...
// Now project it to the second domain
FEFieldFunction<dim> fe_function_1 (dh_1, solution_1);
VectorTools::project (dh_2, constraints_2, quad, fe_function_1, solution_2);
// Or interpolate it...
Vector<double> solution_3;
VectorTools::interpolate (dh_2, fe_function_1, solution_3);

The snippet of code above will work assuming that the second triangulation is entirely included in the first one.

FEFieldFunction is designed to be an easy way to get the results of your computations across different, possibly non matching, grids. No knowledge of the location of the points is assumed in this class, which makes it rely entirely on the GridTools::find_active_cell_around_point utility for its job. However the class can be fed an "educated guess" of where the points that will be computed actually are by using the FEFieldFunction::set_active_cell method, so if you have a smart way to tell where your points are, you will save a lot of computational time by letting this class know.

Using FEFieldFunction with parallel::distributed::Triangulation

When using this class with a parallel distributed triangulation object and evaluating the solution at a particular point, not every processor will own the cell at which the solution is evaluated. Rather, it may be that the cell in which this point is found is in fact a ghost or artificial cell (see GlossArtificialCell and GlossGhostCell). If the cell is artificial, we have no access to the solution there and functions that evaluate the solution at such a point will trigger an exception of type VectorTools::ExcPointNotAvailableHere. The same kind of exception will also be produced if the cell is a ghost cell: On such cells, one could in principle evaluate the solution, but it becomes easier if we do not allow to do so because then there is exactly one processor in a parallel distributed computation that can indeed evaluate the solution. Consequently, it is clear which processor is responsible for producing output if the point evaluation is done as a postprocessing step.

To deal with this situation, you will want to use code as follows when, for example, evaluating the solution at the origin (here using a parallel TrilinosWrappers vector to hold the solution):

Functions::FEFieldFunction<dim,DoFHandler<dim>,TrilinosWrappers::MPI::Vector>
  solution_function (dof_handler, solution);
Point<dim> origin = Point<dim>();
double solution_at_origin;
bool   point_found = true;
try
  {
    solution_at_origin = solution_function.value (origin);
  }
catch (const VectorTools::ExcPointNotAvailableHere &)
  {
    point_found = false;
  }
if (point_found == true)
  ...do something...;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FEFieldFunction()

template<int dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim>, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >::FEFieldFunction	(	const DoFHandlerType &	dh,
		const VectorType &	data_vector,
		const Mapping< dim > &	mapping = `StaticMappingQ1< dim >::mapping`
	)

Construct a vector function. A smart pointers is stored to the dof handler, so you have to make sure that it make sense for the entire lifetime of this object. The number of components of this functions is equal to the number of components of the finite element object. If a mapping is specified, that is what is used to find out where the points lay. Otherwise the standard Q1 mapping is used.

◆ set_active_cell()

template<int dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim>, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

void Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >::set_active_cell ( const typename DoFHandlerType::active_cell_iterator & newcell )

Set the current cell. If you know in advance where your points lie, you can tell this object by calling this function. This will speed things up a little.

◆ vector_value()

template<int dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim>, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

virtual void Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >::vector_value	(	const Point< dim > &	p,
		Vector< typename VectorType::value_type > &	values
	)		const

virtual

Get one vector value at the given point. It is inefficient to use single points. If you need more than one at a time, use the vector_value_list() function. For efficiency reasons, it is better if all the points lie on the same cell. This is not mandatory, however it does speed things up.

Note: When using this function on a parallel::distributed::Triangulation you may get an exception when trying to evaluate the solution at a point that does not lie in a locally owned cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

◆ value()

virtual VectorType::value_type Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >::value	(	const Point< dim > &	p,
		const unsigned int	component = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Return the value of the function at the given point. Unless there is only one component (i.e. the function is scalar), you should state the component you want to have evaluated; it defaults to zero, i.e. the first component. It is inefficient to use single points. If you need more than one at a time, use the vector_value_list function. For efficiency reasons, it is better if all the points lie on the same cell. This is not mandatory, however it does speed things up.

Note: When using this function on a parallel::distributed::Triangulation you may get an exception when trying to evaluate the solution at a point that does not lie in a locally owned cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

		std::vector< typename VectorType::value_type > &	values,

	)		const

virtual

Set values to the point values of the specified component of the function at the points. It is assumed that values already has the right size, i.e. the same size as the points array. This is rather efficient if all the points lie on the same cell. If this is not the case, things may slow down a bit.

Note: When using this function on a parallel::distributed::Triangulation you may get an exception when trying to evaluate the solution at a point that does not lie in a locally owned cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

virtual

Return the gradient of all components of the function at the given point. It is inefficient to use single points. If you need more than one at a time, use the vector_value_list function.

Create quadrature rules. This function groups the points into blocks that live in the same cell, and fills up three vectors: cells, qpoints and maps.
