Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim, spacedim>>
class DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >

This class is used to stack the output from several computations into one output file by stacking the data sets in another co-ordinate direction orthogonal to the space directions. The most common use is to stack the results of several time steps into one space-time output file, or for example to connect the results of solutions of a parameter dependent equation for several parameter value together into one. The interface is mostly modelled after the DataOut class, see there for some more documentation.

We will explain the concept for a time dependent problem, but instead of the time any parameter can be substituted. In our example, a solution of an equation is computed for each discrete time level. This is then added to an object of the present class and after all time levels are added, a space- time plot will be written in any of the output formats supported by the base class. Upon output, the (spatial) solution on each time level is extended into the time direction by writing it twice, once for the time level itself and once for a time equal to the time level minus a given time step. These two copies are connected, to form a space-time slab, with constant values in time.

Due to the piecewise constant output in time, the written solution will in general be discontinuous at discrete time levels, but the output is still sufficient in most cases. More sophisticated interpolations in time may be added in the future.

Example of Use

The following little example shall illustrate the different steps of use of this class. It is assumed that the finite element used is composed of two components, u and v, that the solution vector is named solution and that a vector error is computed which contains an error indicator for each spatial cell.

Note that unlike for the DataOut class it is necessary to first declare data vectors and the names of the components before first use. This is because on all time levels the same data should be present to produce reasonable time-space output. The output is generated with two subdivisions in each space and time direction, which is suitable for quadratic finite elements in space, for example.

DataOutStack<dim> data_out_stack;
// first declare the vectors
// to be used later
std::vector<std::string> solution_names;
solution_names.emplace_back ("u");
solution_names.emplace_back ("v");
data_out_stack.declare_data_vector (solution_names,
data_out_stack.declare_data_vector ("error",
// now do computations
for (double parameter=0; ...)
{
... // compute something
// now for output
data_out_stack.new_parameter_value (parameter,
delta_parameter);
data_out_stack.attach_dof_handler (dof_handler);
data_out_stack.add_data_vector (solution, solution_names);
data_out_stack.add_data_vector (error, "error");
data_out_stack.build_patches (2);
data_out_stack.finish_parameter_value ();
};

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~DataOutStack()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename DoFHandlerType = DoFHandler<dim, spacedim>>
virtual DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::~DataOutStack ( )
overridevirtualdefault

Destructor. Only declared to make it virtual.

Member Function Documentation

◆ new_parameter_value()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::new_parameter_value ( const double  parameter_value,
const double  parameter_step 
)

Start the next set of data for a specific parameter value. The argument parameter_step denotes the interval (in backward direction, counted from parameter_value) with which the output will be extended in parameter direction, i.e. orthogonal to the space directions.

Definition at line 53 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ attach_dof_handler()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::attach_dof_handler ( const DoFHandlerType &  dof_handler)

Attach the DoF handler for the grid and data associated with the parameter previously set by new_parameter_value.

This has to happen before adding data vectors for the present parameter value.

Definition at line 77 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ declare_data_vector() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::declare_data_vector ( const std::string &  name,
const VectorType  vector_type 
)

Declare a data vector. The vector_type argument determines whether the data vector will be considered as DoF or cell data.

This version may be called if the finite element presently used by the DoFHandler (and previously attached to this object) has only one component and therefore only one name needs to be given.

Definition at line 91 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ declare_data_vector() [2/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::declare_data_vector ( const std::vector< std::string > &  name,
const VectorType  vector_type 
)

Declare a data vector. The vector_type argument determines whether the data vector will be considered as DoF or cell data.

This version must be called if the finite element presently used by the DoFHandler (and previously attached to this object) has more than one component and therefore more than one name needs to be given. However, you can also call this function with a std::vector<std::string> containing only one element if the finite element has only one component.

Definition at line 103 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ add_data_vector() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
template<typename number >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::add_data_vector ( const Vector< number > &  vec,
const std::string &  name 
)

Add a data vector for the presently set value of the parameter.

This version may be called if the finite element presently used by the DoFHandler (and previously attached to this object) has only one component and therefore only one name needs to be given.

If vec is a vector with multiple components this function will generate distinct names for all components by appending an underscore and the number of each component to name

The data vector must have been registered using the declare_data_vector function before actually using it the first time.

Note that a copy of this vector is stored until finish_parameter_value is called the next time, so if you are short of memory you may want to call this function only after all computations involving large matrices are already done.

Definition at line 146 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ add_data_vector() [2/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
template<typename number >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::add_data_vector ( const Vector< number > &  vec,
const std::vector< std::string > &  names 
)

Add a data vector for the presently set value of the parameter.

This version must be called if the finite element presently used by the DoFHandler (and previously attached to this object) has more than one component and therefore more than one name needs to be given. However, you can also call this function with a std::vector<std::string> containing only one element if the finite element has only one component.

The data vector must have been registered using the declare_data_vector function before actually using it the first time.

Note that a copy of this vector is stored until finish_parameter_value is called the next time, so if you are short of memory you may want to call this function only after all computations involving large matrices are already done.

Definition at line 181 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ build_patches()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::build_patches ( const unsigned int  n_subdivisions = 0)

This is the central function of this class since it builds the list of patches to be written by the low-level functions of the base class. A patch is, in essence, some intermediate representation of the data on each cell of a triangulation and DoFHandler object that can then be used to write files in some format that is readable by visualization programs.

You can find an overview of the use of this function in the general documentation of this class. An example is also provided in the documentation of this class's base class DataOut_DoFData.

Parameters
n_subdivisionsSee DataOut::build_patches() for an extensive description of this parameter. The number of subdivisions is always one in the direction of the time-like parameter used by this class.

Definition at line 255 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ finish_parameter_value()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
void DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::finish_parameter_value

Release all data that is no more needed once build_patches was called and all other transactions for a given parameter value are done.

Counterpart of new_parameter_value.

Definition at line 441 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ memory_consumption()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
std::size_t DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::memory_consumption

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

Definition at line 460 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ get_patches()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
const std::vector<::DataOutBase::Patch< dim+1, dim+1 > > & DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::get_patches
overrideprivatevirtual

This is the function through which derived classes propagate preprocessed data in the form of Patch structures (declared in the base class DataOutBase) to the actual output function.

Definition at line 475 of file data_out_stack.cc.

◆ get_dataset_names()

template<int dim, int spacedim, typename DoFHandlerType >
std::vector< std::string > DataOutStack< dim, spacedim, DoFHandlerType >::get_dataset_names
overrideprivatevirtual

Virtual function through which the names of data sets are obtained by the output functions of the base class.

Definition at line 484 of file data_out_stack.cc.
