Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class FiniteElementData< dim >

A class that declares a number of scalar constant variables that describe basic properties of a finite element implementation. This includes, for example, the number of degrees of freedom per vertex, line, or cell; the number of vector components; etc.

The kind of information stored here is computed during initialization of a finite element object and is passed down to this class via its constructor. The data stored by this class is part of the public interface of the FiniteElement class (which derives from the current class). See there for more information.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Conformity

template<int dim>

enum FiniteElementData::Conformity

Enumerator for the different types of continuity a finite element may have. Continuity is measured by the Sobolev space containing the constructed finite element space and is also called this way.

Note that certain continuities may imply others. For instance, a function in H¹ is in H^curl and H^div as well.

If you are interested in continuity in the classical sense, then the following relations hold:

H¹ implies that the function is continuous over cell boundaries.
H² implies that the function is continuously differentiable over cell boundaries.
L² indicates that the element is discontinuous. Since discontinuous elements have no topological couplings between grid cells and code may actually depend on this property, L² conformity is handled in a special way in the sense that it is not implied by any higher conformity.

In order to test if a finite element conforms to a certain space, use FiniteElementData<dim>::conforms().

Enumerator
unknown	Indicates incompatible continuities of a system.
L2	Discontinuous elements. See above!
Hcurl	Conformity with the space H^curl (continuous tangential component of a vector field)
Hdiv	Conformity with the space H^div (continuous normal component of a vector field)
H1	Conformity with the space H¹ (continuous)
H2	Conformity with the space H² (continuously differentiable)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FiniteElementData() [1/3]

template<int dim>

FiniteElementData< dim >::FiniteElementData	(	const std::vector< unsigned int > &	dofs_per_object,
		const unsigned int	n_components,
		const unsigned int	degree,
		const Conformity	conformity = `unknown`,
		const BlockIndices &	block_indices = `BlockIndices()`
	)

Constructor, computing all necessary values from the distribution of dofs to geometrical objects.

Parameters

[in]	dofs_per_object	A vector that describes the number of degrees of freedom on geometrical objects for each dimension. This vector must have size dim+1, and entry 0 describes the number of degrees of freedom per vertex, entry 1 the number of degrees of freedom per line, etc. As an example, for the common \(Q_1\) Lagrange element in 2d, this vector would have elements `(1,0,0)`. On the other hand, for a \(Q_3\) element in 3d, it would have entries `(1,2,4,8)`.
[in]	n_components	Number of vector components of the element.
[in]	degree	The maximal polynomial degree of any of the shape functions of this element in any variable on the reference element. For example, for the \(Q_1\) element (in any space dimension), this would be one; this is so despite the fact that the element has a shape function of the form \(\hat x\hat y\) (in 2d) and \(\hat x\hat y\hat z\) (in 3d), which, although quadratic and cubic polynomials, are still only linear in each reference variable separately. The information provided by this variable is typically used in determining what an appropriate quadrature formula is.
[in]	conformity	A variable describing which Sobolev space this element conforms to. For example, the \(Q_p\) Lagrange elements (implemented by the FE_Q class) are \(H^1\) conforming, whereas the Raviart-Thomas element (implemented by the FE_RaviartThomas class) is \(H_\text{div}\) conforming; finally, completely discontinuous elements (implemented by the FE_DGQ class) are only \(L_2\) conforming.
[in]	block_indices	An argument that describes how the base elements of a finite element are grouped. The default value constructs a single block that consists of all `dofs_per_cell` degrees of freedom. This is appropriate for all "atomic" elements (including non-primitive ones) and these can therefore omit this argument. On the other hand, composed elements such as FESystem will want to pass a different value here.

◆ FiniteElementData() [2/3]

template<int dim>

FiniteElementData< dim >::FiniteElementData	(	const std::vector< unsigned int > &	dofs_per_object,
		const ReferenceCell	reference_cell,
		const unsigned int	n_components,
		const unsigned int	degree,
		const Conformity	conformity = `unknown`,
		const BlockIndices &	block_indices = `BlockIndices()`
	)

The same as above but with the difference that also the type of the underlying geometric entity can be specified.

Definition at line 121 of file fe_data.cc.

◆ FiniteElementData() [3/3]

template<int dim>

FiniteElementData< dim >::FiniteElementData	(	const internal::GenericDoFsPerObject &	data,
		const ReferenceCell	reference_cell,
		const unsigned int	n_components,
		const unsigned int	degree,
		const Conformity	conformity = `unknown`,
		const BlockIndices &	block_indices = `BlockIndices()`
	)

The same as above but instead of passing a vector containing the degrees of freedoms per object a struct of type GenericDoFsPerObject. This allows that 2D objects might have different number of degrees of freedoms, which is particular useful for cells with triangles and quadrilaterals as faces.
