Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>
class CellDataTransfer< dim, spacedim, VectorType >

Transfer data that is associated with each active cell (like error indicators) while refining and/or coarsening a triangulation.

This class therefore does for cell-related information what SolutionTransfer does for the values of degrees of freedom defined on a Triangulation.

A non-distributed container (like Vector or std::vector) has to be provided, which holds the cell-wise data in the same order as active cells are traversed. In other words, each entry corresponds to the cell with the same index CellAccessor::active_cell_index(), and the container has to be of size Triangulation::n_active_cells().

Transferring cell-wise data

The following code snippet demonstrates how to transfer cell-related data across refinement/coarsening of the registered triangulation.

// prepare the triangulation,
triangulation.prepare_coarsening_and_refinement();
 
// prepare the CellDataTransfer object for coarsening and refinement
// and give the cell data vector that we intend to unpack later,
Vector<double> data_to_transfer(triangulation.n_active_cells());
//[fill data_to_transfer with cell-wise values...]
 
CellDataTransfer<dim, spacedim, Vector<double>>
  cell_data_trans(triangulation);
cell_data_trans.prepare_for_coarsening_and_refinement();
 
// actually execute the refinement,
triangulation.execute_coarsening_and_refinement();
 
// unpack transferred data,
Vector<double> transferred_data(triangulation.n_active_cells());
cell_data_trans.unpack(data_to_transfer, transferred_data);

When using a parallel::shared::Triangulation, we need to ensure that we have the global data available in our local vector before refinement happened. We can achieve this as follows:

Vector<double> data_to_transfer(triangulation.n_active_cells());
//[fill data_to_transfer with cell-wise values...]
 
PETScWrappers::MPI::Vector
distributed_data_to_transfer(mpi_communicator,
                             triangulation.n_active_cells(),
                             triangulation.n_locally_owned_active_cells());
for (const auto &cell : triangulation.active_cell_iterators())
  if (cell->is_locally_owned())
    {
      const unsigned int index = cell->active_cell_index();
      distributed_data_to_transfer(index) = data_to_transfer(index);
    }
distributed_data_to_transfer.compress(VectorOperation::insert);
 
data_to_transfer = distributed_data_to_transfer;

For the parallel distributed case, a designated class parallel::distributed::CellDataTransfer is available. Please refer to this particular class when using a parallel::distributed::Triangulation.

See the documentation of SolutionTransfer for matching code snippets for transfer.

CellDataTransfer()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

CellDataTransfer< dim, spacedim, VectorType >::CellDataTransfer	(	const Triangulation< dim, spacedim > &	triangulation,
		const std::function< std::vector< value_type >(const typename Triangulation< dim, spacedim >::cell_iterator &parent, const value_type parent_value)>	refinement_strategy = &AdaptationStrategies::Refinement::preserve< dim, spacedim, value_type >,

	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	triangulation	The triangulation on which all operations will happen. At the time when this constructor is called, the refinement in question has not happened yet.
[in]	refinement_strategy	Function deciding how data will be stored on refined cells from its parent cell.
[in]	coarsening_strategy	Function deciding which data to store on a cell whose children will get coarsened into.

Member Function Documentation

prepare_for_coarsening_and_refinement()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

void CellDataTransfer< dim, spacedim, VectorType >::prepare_for_coarsening_and_refinement

(

)

Prepare the current object for coarsening and refinement.

Stores the active_cell_indices of all active cells on the associated triangulation and attribute them to either persisting, refined or coarsened cells.

unpack()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim, typename VectorType = Vector<double>>

void CellDataTransfer< dim, spacedim, VectorType >::unpack	(	const VectorType &	in,
		VectorType &	out
	)

Transfer the information from the previous mesh to the updated one.

Data from the previous mesh supplied by in will be transferred to the updated mesh and stored in out. out has to provide enough space to hold the transferred data, i.e. has to be of size triangulation.n_active_cells().
