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
// 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). The solution can be evaluated on ghost cells, but for artificial cells 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.

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):

solution_function (dof_handler, solution);
double solution_at_origin;
bool point_found = true;
try
{
solution_at_origin = solution_function.value (origin);
}
{
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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ 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 lies on an artificial cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

Reimplemented from Function< dim, VectorType::value_type >.

◆ value()

template<int dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim>, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>
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 lies on an artificial cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

Reimplemented from Function< dim, VectorType::value_type >.

◆ value_list()

std::vector< typename VectorType::value_type > &  values,
const unsigned int  component = 0 
) 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 lies on an artificial cell (see GlossLocallyOwnedCell). See the section in the general documentation of this class for more information.

virtual

Set values to the point values 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.

std::vector< Tensor< 1, dim, typename VectorType::value_type > > &  gradients 
) const
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. 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.

virtual void Functions::FEFieldFunction< dim, DoFHandlerType, VectorType >::vector_laplacian_list ( const std::vector< Point< dim > > &  points,
std::vector< Vector< typename VectorType::value_type > > &  values 
) const

◆ compute_point_locations()

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

std::vector< typename DoFHandlerType::active_cell_iterator > &  cells,
std::vector< std::vector< Point< dim > > > &  qpoints,
std::vector< std::vector< unsigned int > > &  maps 
) const

Given a set of points located in the domain (or, in the case of a parallel Triangulation, in the locally owned part of the domain or on the ghost cells for the current processor), sort these points into buckets for each of the cells on which at least one of the points is located.

This function fills three output vectors: cells, qpoints and maps. The first is a list of the cells that contain the points, the second is a list of quadrature points matching each cell of the first list, and the third contains the index of the given quadrature points, i.e., points[maps[3][4]] ends up as the 5th quadrature point in the 4th cell.

Returns
This function returns the number of cells that collectively contain the set of points give as points. This also equals the lengths of the output arrays.

This function simply calls GridTools::compute_point_locations : using the original function avoids computing a new Cache at every function call.

Given a cell, return the reference coordinates of the given point within this cell if it indeed lies within the cell. Otherwise return an uninitialized boost::optional object.
