Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim>
class FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >

FEValues, FEFaceValues and FESubfaceValues objects are interfaces to finite element and mapping classes on the one hand side, to cells and quadrature rules on the other side. They allow to evaluate values or derivatives of shape functions at the quadrature points of a quadrature formula when projected by a mapping from the unit cell onto a cell in real space. The reason for this abstraction is possible optimization: Depending on the type of finite element and mapping, some values can be computed once on the unit cell. Others must be computed on each cell, but maybe computation of several values at the same time offers ways for optimization. Since this interplay may be complex and depends on the actual finite element, it cannot be left to the applications programmer.

FEValues, FEFaceValues and FESubfaceValues provide only data handling: computations are left to objects of type Mapping and FiniteElement. These provide functions get_*_data and fill_*_values which are called by the constructor and reinit functions of FEValues*, respectively.

General usage

Usually, an object of FEValues* is used in integration loops over all cells of a triangulation (or faces of cells). To take full advantage of the optimization features, it should be constructed before the loop so that information that does not depend on the location and shape of cells can be computed once and for all (this includes, for example, the values of shape functions at quadrature points for the most common elements: we can evaluate them on the unit cell and they will be the same when mapped to the real cell). Then, in the loop over all cells, it must be re-initialized for each grid cell to compute that part of the information that changes depending on the actual cell (for example, the gradient of shape functions equals the gradient on the unit cell – which can be computed once and for all – times the Jacobian matrix of the mapping between unit and real cell, which needs to be recomputed for each cell).

A typical piece of code, adding up local contributions to the Laplace matrix looks like this:

FEValues values (mapping, finite_element, quadrature, flags);
for (const auto &cell : dof_handler.active_cell_iterators())
{
values.reinit(cell);
for (unsigned int q=0; q<quadrature.size(); ++q)
for (unsigned int i=0; i<finite_element.n_dofs_per_cell(); ++i)
for (unsigned int j=0; j<finite_element.n_dofs_per_cell(); ++j)
A(i,j) += fe_values.shape_value(i,q) *
fe_values.shape_value(j,q) *
fe_values.JxW(q);
...
}

The individual functions used here are described below. Note that by design, the order of quadrature points used inside the FEValues object is the same as defined by the quadrature formula passed to the constructor of the FEValues object above.

)

Constructor. Set up the array sizes with n_q_points quadrature points, dofs_per_cell trial functions per cell and with the given pattern to update the fields when the reinit function of the derived classes is called. The fields themselves are not set up, this must happen in the constructor of the derived class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
FEValuesBase & FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::operator= ( const FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim > &  )
delete

The copy assignment is deleted since objects of this class are not copyable.

◆ shape_value()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const double & FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_value ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no 
) const

Value of a shape function at a quadrature point on the cell, face or subface selected the last time the reinit function of the derived class was called.

If the shape function is vector-valued, then this returns the only non- zero component. If the shape function has more than one non-zero component (i.e. it is not primitive), then throw an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive. In that case, use the shape_value_component() function.

Parameters
function_noNumber of the shape function to be evaluated. Note that this number runs from zero to dofs_per_cell, even in the case of an FEFaceValues or FESubfaceValues object.
point_noNumber of the quadrature point at which function is to be evaluated
Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_values flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_value_component()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
double FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_value_component ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no,
const unsigned int  component 
) const

Compute one vector component of the value of a shape function at a quadrature point. If the finite element is scalar, then only component zero is allowed and the return value equals that of the shape_value() function. If the finite element is vector valued but all shape functions are primitive (i.e. they are non-zero in only one component), then the value returned by shape_value() equals that of this function for exactly one component. This function is therefore only of greater interest if the shape function is not primitive, but then it is necessary since the other function cannot be used.

Parameters
function_noNumber of the shape function to be evaluated.
point_noNumber of the quadrature point at which function is to be evaluated.
componentvector component to be evaluated.
Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_values flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_grad()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const Tensor< 1, spacedim > & FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_grad ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  quadrature_point 
) const

Compute the gradient of the function_noth shape function at the quadrature_pointth quadrature point with respect to real cell coordinates. If you want to get the derivative in one of the coordinate directions, use the appropriate function of the Tensor class to extract one component of the Tensor returned by this function. Since only a reference to the gradient's value is returned, there should be no major performance drawback.

If the shape function is vector-valued, then this returns the only non- zero component. If the shape function has more than one non-zero component (i.e. it is not primitive), then it will throw an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive. In that case, use the shape_grad_component() function.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value() function.

Parameters
function_noNumber of the shape function to be evaluated.
quadrature_pointNumber of the quadrature point at which function is to be evaluated.
Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_gradients flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_grad_component()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Tensor< 1, spacedim > FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_grad_component ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no,
const unsigned int  component 
) const

Return one vector component of the gradient of a shape function at a quadrature point. If the finite element is scalar, then only component zero is allowed and the return value equals that of the shape_grad() function. If the finite element is vector valued but all shape functions are primitive (i.e. they are non-zero in only one component), then the value returned by shape_grad() equals that of this function for exactly one component. This function is therefore only of greater interest if the shape function is not primitive, but then it is necessary since the other function cannot be used.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value_component() function.

Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_gradients flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_hessian()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const Tensor< 2, spacedim > & FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_hessian ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no 
) const

Second derivatives of the function_noth shape function at the point_noth quadrature point with respect to real cell coordinates. If you want to get the derivatives in one of the coordinate directions, use the appropriate function of the Tensor class to extract one component. Since only a reference to the hessian values is returned, there should be no major performance drawback.

If the shape function is vector-valued, then this returns the only non- zero component. If the shape function has more than one non-zero component (i.e. it is not primitive), then throw an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive. In that case, use the shape_hessian_component() function.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value() function.

Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_hessians flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_hessian_component()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Tensor< 2, spacedim > FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_hessian_component ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no,
const unsigned int  component 
) const

Return one vector component of the hessian of a shape function at a quadrature point. If the finite element is scalar, then only component zero is allowed and the return value equals that of the shape_hessian() function. If the finite element is vector valued but all shape functions are primitive (i.e. they are non-zero in only one component), then the value returned by shape_hessian() equals that of this function for exactly one component. This function is therefore only of greater interest if the shape function is not primitive, but then it is necessary since the other function cannot be used.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value_component() function.

Note

To do so, the update_hessians flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_3rd_derivative()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const Tensor< 3, spacedim > & FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_3rd_derivative ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no 
) const

Third derivatives of the function_noth shape function at the point_noth quadrature point with respect to real cell coordinates. If you want to get the 3rd derivatives in one of the coordinate directions, use the appropriate function of the Tensor class to extract one component. Since only a reference to the 3rd derivative values is returned, there should be no major performance drawback.

If the shape function is vector-valued, then this returns the only non- zero component. If the shape function has more than one non-zero component (i.e. it is not primitive), then throw an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive. In that case, use the shape_3rdderivative_component() function.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value() function.

Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_3rd_derivatives flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ shape_3rd_derivative_component()

template<int dim, int spacedim>
Tensor< 3, spacedim > FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::shape_3rd_derivative_component ( const unsigned int  function_no,
const unsigned int  point_no,
const unsigned int  component 
) const

Return one vector component of the third derivative of a shape function at a quadrature point. If the finite element is scalar, then only component zero is allowed and the return value equals that of the shape_3rdderivative() function. If the finite element is vector valued but all shape functions are primitive (i.e. they are non-zero in only one component), then the value returned by shape_3rdderivative() equals that of this function for exactly one component. This function is therefore only of greater interest if the shape function is not primitive, but then it is necessary since the other function cannot be used.

The same holds for the arguments of this function as for the shape_value_component() function.

Note
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_3rd_derivatives flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object. See The interplay of UpdateFlags, Mapping, and FiniteElement in FEValues for more information.

◆ get_function_values() [1/5]

template<int dim, int spacedim>
template<class InputVector >
void FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::get_function_values ( const InputVector &  fe_function,
std::vector< typename InputVector::value_type > &  values 
) const

Return the values of a finite element function restricted to the current cell, face or subface selected the last time the reinit function of the derived class was called, at the quadrature points.

If the present cell is not active then values are interpolated to the current cell and point values are computed from that.

This function may only be used if the finite element in use is a scalar one, i.e. has only one vector component. To get values of multi- component elements, there is another get_function_values() below, returning a vector of vectors of results.

Parameters
[in]fe_functionA vector of values that describes (globally) the finite element function that this function should evaluate at the quadrature points of the current cell.
[out]valuesThe values of the function specified by fe_function at the quadrature points of the current cell. The object is assume to already have the correct size. The data type stored by this output vector must be what you get when you multiply the values of shape function times the type used to store the values of the unknowns \(U_j\) of your finite element vector \(U\) (represented by the fe_function argument). This happens to be equal to the type of the elements of the solution vector.
Postcondition
values[q] will contain the value of the field described by fe_function at the \(q\)th quadrature point.
Note
The actual data type of the input vector may be either a Vector<T>, BlockVector<T>, or one of the PETSc or Trilinos vector wrapper classes. It represents a global vector of DoF values associated with the DoFHandler object with which this FEValues object was last initialized.
For this function to work properly, the underlying FEValues, FEFaceValues, or FESubfaceValues object on which you call it must have computed the information you are requesting. To do so, the update_values flag must be an element of the list of UpdateFlags that you passed to the constructor of this object.

This function does the same as the other get_function_values(), but applied to multi-component (vector-valued) elements. The meaning of the arguments is as explained there.

Postcondition
values[q] is a vector of values of the field described by fe_function at the \(q\)th quadrature point. The size of the vector accessed by values[q] equals the number of components of the finite element, i.e. values[q](c) returns the value of the \(c\)th vector component at the \(q\)th quadrature point.

◆ get_function_values() [3/5]

template<int dim, int spacedim>
template<class InputVector >
void FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::get_function_values ( const InputVector &  fe_function,
const ArrayView< const types::global_dof_index > &  indices,
std::vector< typename InputVector::value_type > &  values 
) const

Generate function values from an arbitrary vector. This function does in essence the same as the first function of this name above, except that it does not make the assumption that the input vector corresponds to a DoFHandler that describes the unknowns of a finite element field (and for which we would then assume that fe_function.size() == dof_handler.n_dofs()). Rather, the nodal values corresponding to the current cell are elements of an otherwise arbitrary vector, and these elements are indexed by the second argument to this function. What the rest of the fe_function input argument corresponds to is of no consequence to this function.

Given this, the function above corresponds to passing fe_function as first argument to the current function, and using the local_dof_indices array that results from the following call as second argument to the current function:

cell->get_dof_indices (local_dof_indices);

(See DoFCellAccessor::get_dof_indices() for more information.)

Likewise, the function above is equivalent to calling

cell->get_dof_values (fe_function, local_dof_values);

and then calling the current function with local_dof_values as first argument, and an array with indices {0,...,fe.dofs_per_cell-1} as second argument.

The point of the current function is that one sometimes wants to evaluate finite element functions at quadrature points with nodal values that are not stored in a global vector – for example, one could modify these local values first, such as by applying a limiter or by ensuring that all nodal values are positive, before evaluating the finite element field that corresponds to these local values on the current cell. Another application is where one wants to postprocess the solution on a cell into a different finite element space on every cell, without actually creating a corresponding DoFHandler – in that case, all one would compute is a local representation of that postprocessed function, characterized by its nodal values; this function then allows the evaluation of that representation at quadrature points.

Parameters
[in]fe_functionA vector of nodal values. This vector can have an arbitrary size, as long as all elements index by indices can actually be accessed.
[in]indicesA vector of indices into fe_function. This vector must have length equal to the number of degrees of freedom on the current cell, and must identify elements in fe_function in the order in which degrees of freedom are indexed on the reference cell.
[out]valuesA vector of values of the given finite element field, at the quadrature points on the current object.

) const

Generate vector function values from an arbitrary vector. This function is similar to the previous one, but the indices vector may also be a multiple of the number of dofs per cell. Then, the vectors in value should allow for the same multiple of the components of the finite element.

Depending on the value of the last argument, the outer vector of values has either the length of the quadrature rule (quadrature_points_fastest == false) or the length of components to be filled quadrature_points_fastest == true. If p is the current quadrature point number and i is the vector component of the solution desired, the access to values is values[p][i] if quadrature_points_fastest == false, and values[i][p] otherwise.

Since this function allows for fairly general combinations of argument sizes, be aware that the checks on the arguments may not detect errors.

In this way, we can construct the upper half and the diagonal of a stiffness matrix contribution (assuming it is symmetric, and that only one half of it needs to be computed), for example.

◆ dimension

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const unsigned int FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::dimension = dim
static

Dimension in which this object operates.

Definition at line 2418 of file fe_values.h.

◆ space_dimension

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const unsigned int FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::space_dimension = spacedim
static

Dimension of the space in which this object operates.

Definition at line 2423 of file fe_values.h.

◆ n_quadrature_points

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const unsigned int FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::n_quadrature_points

Number of quadrature points of the current object. Its value is initialized by the value of max_n_quadrature_points and is updated, e.g., if FEFaceValues::reinit() is called for a new cell/face.

Note
The default value equals to the value of max_n_quadrature_points.

Definition at line 2432 of file fe_values.h.

◆ max_n_quadrature_points

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const unsigned int FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::max_n_quadrature_points

Maximum number of quadrature points. This value might be different from n_quadrature_points, e.g., if a QCollection with different face quadrature rules has been passed to initialize FEFaceValues.

This is mostly useful to initialize arrays to allocate the maximum amount of memory that may be used when re-sizing later on to a the current number of quadrature points given by n_quadrature_points.

◆ dofs_per_cell

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const unsigned int FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::dofs_per_cell

Number of shape functions per cell. If we use this base class to evaluate a finite element on faces of cells, this is still the number of degrees of freedom per cell, not per face.

Definition at line 2450 of file fe_values.h.

◆ present_cell

template<int dim, int spacedim>
std::unique_ptr<const CellIteratorBase> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::present_cell
protected

Store the cell selected last time the reinit() function was called. This is necessary for the get_function_* functions as well as the functions of same name in the extractor classes.

Definition at line 3843 of file fe_values.h.

◆ tria_listener_refinement

template<int dim, int spacedim>
boost::signals2::connection FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::tria_listener_refinement
protected

A signal connection we use to ensure we get informed whenever the triangulation changes by refinement. We need to know about that because it invalidates all cell iterators and, as part of that, the 'present_cell' iterator we keep around between subsequent calls to reinit() in order to compute the cell similarity.

Definition at line 3852 of file fe_values.h.

◆ tria_listener_mesh_transform

template<int dim, int spacedim>
boost::signals2::connection FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::tria_listener_mesh_transform
protected

A signal connection we use to ensure we get informed whenever the triangulation changes by mesh transformations. We need to know about that because it invalidates all cell iterators and, as part of that, the 'present_cell' iterator we keep around between subsequent calls to reinit() in order to compute the cell similarity.

◆ mapping

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const SmartPointer<const Mapping<dim, spacedim>, FEValuesBase<dim, spacedim> > FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::mapping
protected

A pointer to the mapping object associated with this FEValues object.

Definition at line 3888 of file fe_values.h.

◆ mapping_data

template<int dim, int spacedim>
std::unique_ptr<typename Mapping<dim, spacedim>::InternalDataBase> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::mapping_data
protected

A pointer to the internal data object of mapping, obtained from Mapping::get_data(), Mapping::get_face_data(), or Mapping::get_subface_data().

Definition at line 3896 of file fe_values.h.

◆ mapping_output

template<int dim, int spacedim>
::internal::FEValuesImplementation::MappingRelatedData<dim, spacedim> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::mapping_output
protected

An object into which the Mapping::fill_fe_values() and similar functions place their output.

Definition at line 3903 of file fe_values.h.

◆ fe

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const SmartPointer<const FiniteElement<dim, spacedim>, FEValuesBase<dim, spacedim> > FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::fe
protected

A pointer to the finite element object associated with this FEValues object.

Definition at line 3912 of file fe_values.h.

◆ fe_data

template<int dim, int spacedim>
std::unique_ptr<typename FiniteElement<dim, spacedim>::InternalDataBase> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::fe_data
protected

A pointer to the internal data object of finite element, obtained from FiniteElement::get_data(), Mapping::get_face_data(), or FiniteElement::get_subface_data().

Definition at line 3920 of file fe_values.h.

◆ finite_element_output

template<int dim, int spacedim>
::internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData<dim, spacedim> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::finite_element_output
protected

An object into which the FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() and similar functions place their output.

Definition at line 3928 of file fe_values.h.

◆ update_flags

template<int dim, int spacedim>
UpdateFlags FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::update_flags
protected

Original update flags handed to the constructor of FEValues.

Definition at line 3934 of file fe_values.h.

◆ cell_similarity

template<int dim, int spacedim>
CellSimilarity::Similarity FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::cell_similarity
protected

An enum variable that can store different states of the current cell in comparison to the previously visited cell. If wanted, additional states can be checked here and used in one of the methods used during reinit.

Definition at line 3952 of file fe_values.h.

◆ fe_values_views_cache

template<int dim, int spacedim>
::internal::FEValuesViews::Cache<dim, spacedim> FEValuesBase< dim, spacedim >::fe_values_views_cache
private

A cache for all possible FEValuesViews objects.
