Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class GridIn< dim, spacedim >

This class implements an input mechanism for grid data. It allows to read a grid structure into a triangulation object. At present, UCD (unstructured cell data), DB Mesh, XDA, Gmsh, Tecplot, NetCDF, UNV, VTK, ASSIMP, and Cubit are supported as input format for grid data. Any numerical data other than geometric (vertex locations) and topological (how vertices form cells, faces, and edges) information is ignored, but the readers for the various formats generally do read information that associates material ids or boundary ids to cells or faces (see this and this glossary entry for more information).

Note: Since deal.II only supports line, quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes, the functions in this class can only read meshes that consist exclusively of such cells. If you absolutely need to work with a mesh that uses triangles or tetrahedra, then your only option is to convert the mesh to quadrilaterals and hexahedra. A tool that can do this is tethex, available here.

The mesh you read will form the coarsest level of a Triangulation object. As such, it must not contain hanging nodes or other forms of adaptive refinement, or strange things will happen if the mesh represented by the input file does in fact have them. This is due to the fact that most mesh description formats do not store neighborship information between cells, so the grid reading functions have to regenerate it. They do so by checking whether two cells have a common face. If there are hanging nodes in a triangulation, adjacent cells have no common (complete) face, so the grid reader concludes that the adjacent cells have no neighbors along these faces and must therefore be at the boundary. In effect, an internal crack of the domain is introduced this way. Since such cases are very hard to detect (how is GridIn supposed to decide whether a place where the faces of two small cells coincide with the face or a larger cell is in fact a hanging node associated with local refinement, or is indeed meant to be a crack in the domain?), the library does not make any attempt to catch such situations, and you will get a triangulation that probably does not do what you want. If your goal is to save and later read again a triangulation that has been adaptively refined, then this class is not your solution; rather take a look at the PersistentTriangulation class.

To read grid data, the triangulation to be filled has to be empty. Upon calling the functions of this class, the input file may contain only lines in one dimension; lines and quads in two dimensions; and lines, quads, and hexes in three dimensions. All other cell types (e.g. triangles in two dimensions, triangles or tetrahedra in 3d) are rejected. (Here, the "dimension" refers to the dimensionality of the mesh; it may be embedded in a higher dimensional space, such as a mesh on the two-dimensional surface of the sphere embedded in 3d, or a 1d mesh that discretizes a line in 3d.) The result will be a triangulation that consists of the cells described in the input file, and to the degree possible with material indicators and boundary indicators correctly set as described in the input file.

Note: You can not expect vertex and cell numbers in the triangulation to match those in the input file. (This is already clear based on the fact that we number cells and vertices separately, whereas this is not the case for some input file formats; some formats also do not require consecutive numbering, or start numbering at indices other than zero.)

Supported input formats

At present, the following input formats are supported:

UCD (unstructured cell data) format: this format is used for grid input as well as data output. If there are data vectors in the input file, they are ignored, as we are only interested in the grid in this class. The UCD format requires the vertices to be in following ordering: in 2d
```
*      3-----2
*      |     |
*      |     |
*      |     |
*      0-----1
* 
```
and in 3d
```
*         7-------6        7-------6
*        /|       |       /       /|
*       / |       |      /       / |
*      /  |       |     /       /  |
*     3   |       |    3-------2   |
*     |   4-------5    |       |   5
*     |  /       /     |       |  /
*     | /       /      |       | /
*     |/       /       |       |/
*     0-------1        0-------1
* 
```
Note, that this ordering is different from the deal.II numbering scheme, see the Triangulation class. The exact description of the UCD format can be found in the AVS Explorer manual (see http://www.avs.com). The UCD format can be read by the read_ucd() function.
DB mesh format: this format is used by the BAMG mesh generator (see http://www-rocq.inria.fr/gamma/cdrom/www/bamg/eng.htm. The documentation of the format in the BAMG manual is very incomplete, so we don't actually parse many of the fields of the output since we don't know their meaning, but the data that is read is enough to build up the mesh as intended by the mesh generator. This format can be read by the read_dbmesh() function.
XDA format: this is a rather simple format used by the MGF code. We don't have an exact specification of the format, but the reader can read in several example files. If the reader does not grok your files, it should be fairly simple to extend it.
Gmsh 1.0 mesh format: this format is used by the Gmsh mesh generator (see http://gmsh.info/). The documentation in the Gmsh manual explains how to generate meshes compatible with the deal.II library (i.e. quads rather than triangles). In order to use this format, Gmsh has to output the file in the old format 1.0. This is done adding the line "Mesh.MshFileVersion = 1" to the input file.
Gmsh 2.0 mesh format: this is a variant of the above format. The read_msh() function automatically determines whether an input file is version 1 or version 2.
Tecplot format: this format is used by TECPLOT and often serves as a basis for data exchange between different applications. Note, that currently only the ASCII format is supported, binary data cannot be read.
UNV format: this format is generated by the Salome mesh generator, see http://www.salome-platform.org/ . The sections of the format that the GridIn::read_unv function supports are documented here:
- section 2411: http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/sdrl/referenceinfo/universalfileformats/file-format-storehouse/universal-dataset-number-2411
- section 2412: http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/sdrl/referenceinfo/universalfileformats/file-format-storehouse/universal-dataset-number-2412
- section 2467: http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/sdrl/referenceinfo/universalfileformats/file-format-storehouse/universal-dataset-number-2467
- all sections of this format, even if they may not be supported in our reader, can be found here: http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/sdrl/referenceinfo/universalfileformats/file-format-storehouse
Note that Salome, let's say in 2D, can only make a quad mesh on an object that has exactly 4 edges (or 4 pieces of the boundary). That means, that if you have a more complicated object and would like to mesh it with quads, you will need to decompose the object into >= 2 separate objects. Then 1) each of these separate objects is meshed, 2) the appropriate groups of cells and/or faces associated with each of these separate objects are created, 3) a compound mesh is built up, and 4) all numbers that might be associated with some of the internal faces of this compound mesh are removed.

VTK format: VTK Unstructured Grid Legacy file reader generator. The reader can handle only Unstructured Grid format of data at present for 2D & 3D geometries. The documentation for the general legacy vtk file, including Unstructured Grid format can be found here: http://www.cacr.caltech.edu/~slombey/asci/vtk/vtk_formats.simple.html

The VTK format requires the vertices to be in following ordering: in 2d

*      3-----2
*      |     |
*      |     |
*      |     |
*      0-----1
*

and in 3d

*         7-------6        7-------6
*        /|       |       /       /|
*       / |       |      /       / |
*      /  |       |     /       /  |
*     4   |       |    4-------5   |
*     |   3-------2    |       |   2
*     |  /       /     |       |  /
*     | /       /      |       | /
*     |/       /       |       |/
*     0-------1        0-------1
*

Cubit format: deal.II doesn't directly support importing from Cubit at this time. However, Cubit can export in UCD format using a simple plug-in, and the resulting UCD file can then be read by this class. The plug-in script can be found on the deal.II wiki page under Mesh Input and Output.

Alternatively, Cubit can generate ABAQUS files that can be read in via the read_abaqus() function. This may be a better option for geometries with complex boundary condition surfaces and multiple materials - information which is currently not easily obtained through Cubit's python interface.

Structure of input grid data. The GridReordering class

It is your duty to use a correct numbering of vertices in the cell list, i.e. for lines in 1d, you have to first give the vertex with the lower coordinate value, then that with the higher coordinate value. For quadrilaterals in two dimensions, the vertex indices in the quad list have to be such that the vertices are numbered in counter-clockwise sense.

In two dimensions, another difficulty occurs, which has to do with the sense of a quadrilateral. A quad consists of four lines which have a direction, which is by definition as follows:

*   3-->--2
*   |     |
*   ^     ^
*   |     |
*   0-->--1
*

Now, two adjacent cells must have a vertex numbering such that the direction of the common side is the same. For example, the following two quads

*   3---4---5
*   |   |   |
*   0---1---2
*

may be characterised by the vertex numbers (0 1 4 3) and (1 2 5 4), since the middle line would get the direction 1->4 when viewed from both cells. The numbering (0 1 4 3) and (5 4 1 2) would not be allowed, since the left quad would give the common line the direction 1->4, while the right one would want to use 4->1, leading to an ambiguity. The Triangulation object is capable of detecting this special case, which can be eliminated by rotating the indices of the right quad by two. However, it would not know what to do if you gave the vertex indices (4 1 2 5), since then it would have to rotate by one element or three, the decision which to take is not yet implemented.

There are more ambiguous cases, where the triangulation may not know what to do at all without the use of sophisticated algorithms. Furthermore, similar problems exist in three space dimensions, where faces and lines have orientations that need to be taken care of.

For this reason, the read_* functions of this class that read in grids in various input formats call the GridReordering class to bring the order of vertices that define the cells into an ordering that satisfies the requirements of the Triangulation class. Be sure to read the documentation of that class if you experience unexpected problems when reading grids through this class.

Dealing with distorted mesh cells

For each of the mesh reading functions, the last call is always to Triangulation::create_triangulation(). That function checks whether all the cells it creates as part of the coarse mesh are distorted or not (where distortion here means that the Jacobian of the mapping from the reference cell to the real cell has a non-positive determinant, i.e. the cell is pinched or twisted; see the entry on distorted cells in the glossary). If it finds any such cells, it throws an exception. This exception is not caught in the grid reader functions of the current class, and so will propagate through to the function that called it. There, you can catch and ignore the exception if you are certain that there is no harm in dealing with such cells. If you were not aware that your mesh had such cells, your results will likely be of dubious quality at best if you ignore the exception.

◆ read_vtk()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_vtk ( std::istream & in )

Read grid data from a unstructured vtk file. The vtk file may contain the following VTK cell types: VTK_HEXAHEDRON, VTK_QUAD, and VTK_LINE.

Depending on the template dimension, only some of the above are accepted.

In particular, in three dimensions, this function expects the file to contain

VTK_HEXAHEDRON cell types
VTK_QUAD cell types, to specify optional boundary or interior quad faces
VTK_LINE cell types, to specify optional boundary or interior edges

In two dimensions:

VTK_QUAD cell types
VTK_LINE cell types, to specify optional boundary or interior edges

In one dimension

VTK_LINE cell types

The input file may specify boundary ids, material ids, and manifold ids using the CELL_DATA section of the VTK file format.

This function interprets two types of CELL_DATA contained in the input file: SCALARS MaterialID, used to specify the material_id of the cells, or the boundary_id of the faces and edges, and SCALARS ManifoldID, that can be used to specify the manifold id of any Triangulation object (cell, face, or edge).

The companion GridOut::write_vtk function can be used to write VTK files compatible with this method.

◆ read_vtu()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

Read grid data from a unstructured vtu file, saved by deal.II using GridOut::write_vtu(), with the flag GridOutFlags::Vtu::serialize_triangulation set to true.

Notice that this function does not support reading in arbitrary vtu files, but only files that were written by deal.II itself, using the function GridOut::write_vtu and setting GridOutFlags::Vtu::serialize_triangulation to true.

When this flag is set to true, the generated vtu file contains the triangulation in a xml section which is ignored by vtu general vtu readers. If this section is absent, an exception is thrown.

◆ read_unv()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_unv ( std::istream & in )

Read grid data from an unv file as generated by the Salome mesh generator. Numerical data is ignored.

Note the comments on generating this file format in the general documentation of this class.

Definition at line 532 of file grid_in.cc.

◆ read_ucd()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_ucd	(	std::istream &	in,
		const bool	apply_all_indicators_to_manifolds = `false`
	)

Read grid data from an ucd file. Numerical data is ignored. It is not possible to use a ucd file to set both boundary_id and manifold_id for the same cell. Yet it is possible to use the flag apply_all_indicators_to_manifolds to decide if the indicators in the file refer to manifolds (flag set to true) or boundaries (flag set to false). If the flag is set, the indicators are used for cells as manifold id, too.

Definition at line 781 of file grid_in.cc.

◆ read_abaqus()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_abaqus	(	std::istream &	in,
		const bool	apply_all_indicators_to_manifolds = `false`
	)

Read grid data from an Abaqus file. Numerical and constitutive data is ignored. As in the case of the ucd file format, it is possible to use the flag apply_all_indicators_to_manifolds to decide if the indicators in the file refer to manifolds (flag set to true) or boundaries (flag set to false).

Note

The current implementation of this mesh reader is suboptimal, and may therefore be slow for large meshes.

Usage tips for Cubit:

Multiple material-id's can be defined in the mesh. This is done by specifying blocksets in the pre-processor.
Arbitrary surface boundaries can be defined in the mesh. This is done by specifying sidesets in the pre-processor. In particular, boundaries are not confined to just surfaces (in 3d) individual element faces can be added to the sideset as well. This is useful when a boundary condition is to be applied on a complex shape boundary that is difficult to define using "surfaces" alone. Similar can be done in 2d.

Compatibility information for this file format is listed below.

Files generated in Abaqus CAE 6.12 have been verified to be correctly imported, but older (or newer) versions of Abaqus may also generate valid input decks.
Files generated using Cubit 11.x, 12.x, 13.x, 14.x and 15.x are valid, but only when using a specific set of export steps. These are as follows:
- Go to "Analysis setup mode" by clicking on the disc icon in the toolbar on the right.
- Select "Export Mesh" under "Operation" by clicking on the necessary icon in the toolbar on the right.
- Select an output file. In Cubit version 11.0 and 12.0 it might be necessary to click on the browse button and type it in the dialogue that pops up.
- Select the dimension to output in.
- Tick the overwrite box.
- If using Cubit v12.0 onwards, uncheck the box "Export using Cubit ID's". An invalid file will encounter errors if this box is left checked.
- Click apply.

◆ read_dbmesh()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_dbmesh ( std::istream & in )

Read grid data from a file containing data in the DB mesh format.

◆ read_xda() [1/3]

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_xda ( std::istream & in )

◆ read_msh()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_msh ( std::istream & in )

Read grid data from an msh file, either version 1 or version 2 of that file format. The Gmsh formats are documented at http://www.gmsh.info/.

Note: The input function of deal.II does not distinguish between newline and other whitespace. Therefore, deal.II will be able to read files in a slightly more general format than Gmsh.

◆ read_netcdf() [1/7]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_netcdf ( const std::string & filename )

Read grid data from a NetCDF file. The only data format currently supported is the TAU grid format.

This function requires the library to be linked with the NetCDF library.

◆ read_tecplot() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_tecplot ( std::istream & in )

Read grid data from a file containing tecplot ASCII data. This also works in the absence of any tecplot installation.

Definition at line 2989 of file grid_in.cc.

◆ read_assimp()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::read_assimp	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const unsigned int	mesh_index = `numbers::invalid_unsigned_int`,
		const bool	remove_duplicates = `true`,
		const double	tol = `1e-12`,
		const bool	ignore_unsupported_element_types = `true`
	)

Read in a file supported by Assimp, and generate a Triangulation out of it. If you specify a mesh_index, only the mesh with the given index will be extracted, otherwise all meshes which are present in the file will be used to generate the Triangulation.

This function can only be used to read two-dimensional meshes (possibly embedded in three dimensions). This is the standard for graphical software such as blender, or 3D studio max, and that is what the original Assimp library was built for. We "bend" it to deal.II to support complex co-dimension one meshes and complex two-dimensional meshes.

If remove_duplicates is set to true (the default), then duplicated vertices will be removed if their distance is lower than tol.

Only the elements compatible with the given dimension and space dimension will be extracted from the mesh, and only those elements that are compatible with deal.II are supported. If you set ignore_unsupported_element_types, all the other element types are simply ignored by this algorithm. If your mesh contains a mixture of triangles and quadrilaterals, for example, only the quadrilaterals will be extracted. The resulting mesh (as represented in the Triangulation object) may not make any sense if you are mixing compatible and incompatible element types. If ignore_unsupported_element_types is set to false, then an exception is thrown when an unsupported type is encountered.

Parameters

filename	The file to read from
mesh_index	Index of the mesh within the file
remove_duplicates	Remove duplicated vertices
tol	Tolerance to use when removing vertices
ignore_unsupported_element_types	Don't throw exceptions if we encounter unsupported types during parsing

◆ debug_output_grid() [1/3]

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::debug_output_grid	(	const std::vector< CellData< dim >> &	cells,
		const std::vector< Point< spacedim >> &	vertices,
		std::ostream &	out
	)

staticprotected

This function can write the raw cell data objects created by the read_* functions in Gnuplot format to a stream. This is sometimes handy if one would like to see what actually was created, if it is known that the data is not correct in some way, but the Triangulation class refuses to generate a triangulation because of these errors. In particular, the output of this class writes out the cell numbers along with the direction of the faces of each cell. In particular the latter information is needed to verify whether the cell data objects follow the requirements of the ordering of cells and their faces, i.e. that all faces need to have unique directions and specified orientations with respect to neighboring cells (see the documentations to this class and the GridReordering class).

The output of this function consists of vectors for each line bounding the cells indicating the direction it has with respect to the orientation of this cell, and the cell number. The whole output is in a form such that it can be read in by Gnuplot and generate the full plot without further ado by the user.

◆ skip_empty_lines()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::skip_empty_lines ( std::istream & in )

staticprivate

Skip empty lines in the input stream, i.e. lines that contain either nothing or only whitespace.

Definition at line 3155 of file grid_in.cc.

◆ skip_comment_lines()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::skip_comment_lines	(	std::istream &	in,
		const char	comment_start
	)

staticprivate

Skip lines of comment that start with the indicated character (e.g. #) following the point where the given input stream presently is. After the call to this function, the stream is at the start of the first line after the comment lines, or at the same position as before if there were no lines of comments.

◆ parse_tecplot_header()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

void GridIn< dim, spacedim >::parse_tecplot_header	(	std::string &	header,
		std::vector< unsigned int > &	tecplot2deal,
		unsigned int &	n_vars,
		unsigned int &	n_vertices,
		unsigned int &	n_cells,
		std::vector< unsigned int > &	IJK,
		bool &	structured,
		bool &	blocked
	)

staticprivate

This function does the nasty work (due to very lax conventions and different versions of the tecplot format) of extracting the important parameters from a tecplot header, contained in the string header. The other variables are output variables, their value has no influence on the function execution..
