Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class internal::DoFHandlerImplementation::DoFLevel< dim >

Structure for storing degree of freedom information for cells, organized by levels.

We store are cached values for the DoF indices on each cell in::cell_dof_indices_cache, since this is a frequently requested operation. The values are set by DoFCellAccessor::update_cell_dof_indices_cache and are used by DoFCellAccessor::get_dof_indices.

Note that vertices are separate from, and in fact have nothing to do with cells. The indices of degrees of freedom located on vertices therefore are not stored here, but rather in member variables of the DoFHandler class.

The indices of degrees of freedom located on lower dimensional objects, i.e. on lines for 2D and on quads and lines for 3D are treated similarly than that on cells. However, these geometrical objects, which are called faces as a generalization, are not organised in a hierarchical structure of levels. Therefore, the degrees of freedom located on these objects are stored in separate classes, namely the DoFFaces classes.

Access to this object is usually through the DoFAccessor::set_dof_index() and DoFAccessor::dof_index() functions or similar functions of derived classes that in turn access the member variables using the DoFHandler::get_dof_index() and corresponding setter functions. Knowledge of the actual data format is therefore encapsulated to the present hierarchy of classes as well as the DoFHandler class.

get_cell_cache_start()

template<int dim>

const types::global_dof_index * internal::DoFHandlerImplementation::DoFLevel< dim >::get_cell_cache_start ( const unsigned int  obj_index, const unsigned int  dofs_per_cell  ) const

inline

Return a pointer to the beginning of the DoF indices cache for a given cell.

Parameters

obj_index	The number of the cell we are looking at.
dofs_per_cell	The number of DoFs per cell for this cell.

Returns

A pointer to the first DoF index for the current cell. The next dofs_per_cell indices are for the current cell.

std::size_t internal::DoFHandlerImplementation::DoFLevel< dim >::memory_consumption

inline

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