Detailed Description

A small class collecting the different BlockIndices involved in global, multilevel and local computations.

Once a DoFHandler has been initialized with an FESystem, a data object of type BlockInfo (accessed by DoFHandler::block_info() ) is filled, which reflects the block structure of the degrees of freedom.

BlockInfo consists of several BlockIndices objects. The member global() reflects the block structure of the system on the active cell level, usually referred to as the global system. As soon as DoFHandler::distribute_dofs() has been called, the function BlockIndices::block_size() in global() will return the correct sizes of each block. After DoFRenumbering::block_wise(), BlockIndices::block_start() will return the start index for each of the blocks.

When a DoFHandler with levels is used, the same structure is automatically generated for each level. The level blocks can be accessed through level().

Finally, there are local() BlockIndices, which describe the block structure on a single cell. This is used for instance by MeshWorker::Assembler::MatrixLocalBlocksToGlobalBlocks. The local indices are not filled automatically, since they change the behavior of the MeshWorker::Assembler classes relying on BlockInfo. They must be initialized by hand through initialize_local().

Usage

The most common usage for this object is initializing vectors as in the following code:

DoFHandler<dim> dof_handler(triangulation);
dof_handler.distribute_dofs(fe_system);
dof_handler.distribute_mg_dofs(fe_system);
BlockVector<double> solution(dof_handler.block_info().global());
MGLevelObject<BlockVector<double> > mg_vector(0, triangulation.n_levels()-1);
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < triangulation.n_levels(); ++i)
{
mg_vector[i].reinit(dof_handler.block_info().level(i));
}

In this example, solution obtains the block structure needed to represent a finite element function on the DoFHandler. Similarly, all levels of mg_vector will have the block structure needed on that level.

Todo:
Extend the functions local() and renumber() to the concept to hp::DoFHandler.

Member Function Documentation

◆ initialize()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
void BlockInfo::initialize ( const DoFHandler< dim, spacedim > &  dof,
bool  levels_only = false,
bool  active_only = false 
)

Fill the object with values describing block structure of the DoFHandler.

By default, this function will attempt to initialize whatever is possible. If active dofs have been assigned int the DoFHandler argument, they BlockIndices for those will be generated. The same for level dofs.

This default behavior can be overridden by the two parameters, which can switch off active dofs or level dofs.

This function will also clear the local() indices.

Definition at line 30 of file block_info.cc.

◆ global()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::global ( ) const
inline

Access the BlockIndices structure of the global system.

Definition at line 222 of file block_info.h.

◆ local()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::local ( ) const
inline

Access BlockIndices for the local system on a cell.

Definition at line 229 of file block_info.h.

◆ level()

const BlockIndices & BlockInfo::level ( unsigned int  level) const
inline

Access the BlockIndices structure of a level in the multilevel hierarchy.

Definition at line 236 of file block_info.h.

◆ renumber()

types::global_dof_index BlockInfo::renumber ( const unsigned int  i) const
inline

Return the index after local renumbering.

The input of this function is an index between zero and the number of dofs per cell, numbered in local block ordering, that is first all indices of the first system block, then all of the second block and so forth. The function then outputs the index in the standard local numbering of DoFAccessor.

Definition at line 244 of file block_info.h.

◆ n_base_elements()

unsigned int BlockInfo::n_base_elements ( ) const
inline

The number of base elements.

Definition at line 261 of file block_info.h.

◆ base_element()

unsigned int BlockInfo::base_element ( const unsigned int  i) const
inline

Return the base element of this index.

Definition at line 252 of file block_info.h.

◆ print()

template<class OS >
void BlockInfo::print ( OS &  stream) const
inline

Write a summary of the block structure to the stream.

Definition at line 270 of file block_info.h.

◆ memory_consumption()

std::size_t BlockInfo::memory_consumption ( ) const
inline

Determine an estimate for the memory consumption (in bytes) of this object.

Definition at line 302 of file block_info.h.

◆ serialize()

template<class Archive >
void BlockInfo::serialize ( Archive &  ar,
const unsigned int   
)

Read or write the data of this object to or from a stream for the purpose of serialization
