Detailed Description

A set of basis functions that can apply over an element of a given dimension.

A set of basis functions that can apply over an element of a given dimension. The element basis can be a tensor product of different basis function types, with the parameters of the resulting basis cycling over lower element 'xi' coordinates fastest.

Enumerator
FUNCTION_TYPE_INVALID	Invalid or unspecified basis function type
FUNCTION_TYPE_CONSTANT	Constant value, 1 parameter
FUNCTION_TYPE_LINEAR_LAGRANGE	Linear Lagrange interpolation over xi in [0,1] with 2 parameters ordered in increasing xi: xi=0, xi=1
FUNCTION_TYPE_QUADRATIC_LAGRANGE	Quadratic Lagrange interpolation over xi in [0,1] with 3 parameters ordered in increasing xi: xi=0, xi=0.5, xi=1
FUNCTION_TYPE_CUBIC_LAGRANGE	Cubic Lagrange interpolation over xi in [0,1] with 4 parameters ordered in increasing xi: xi=0, xi=1/3, xi=2/3, xi=1
FUNCTION_TYPE_LINEAR_SIMPLEX	Linear Lagrange simplex basis linked on 2 or more dimensions over chart xi >= 0, and sum of linked xi coordinates <= 1. 2 linked dimensions gives a linear triangle with 3 parameters with lowest xi cycling fastest: xi (0,0) (1,0) (0,1) 3 linked dimensions gives a linear tetrahedron with 4 parameters with lowest xi cycling fastest: xi (0,0,0) (1,0,0) (0,1,0) (0,0,1)
FUNCTION_TYPE_QUADRATIC_SIMPLEX	Quadratic Lagrange simplex basis linked on 2 or more dimensions over chart xi >= 0, and sum of linked xi coordinates <= 1. 2 linked dimensions gives a quadratic triangle with 6 parameters with lowest xi cycling fastest: xi (0,0) (0.5,0) (1,0) (0,0.5) (0.5,0.5) (0,1) 3 linked dimensions gives a quadratic tetrahedron with 10 parameters with lowest xi cycling fastest: xi (0,0,0) (0.5,0,0) (1,0,0) (0,0.5,0) (0.5,0.5,0) (0,1,0) (0,0,0.5) (0.5,0,0.5) (0,0.5,0.5) (0,0,1)
FUNCTION_TYPE_CUBIC_HERMITE	Cubic Hermite basis over xi in [0,1] with 4 parameters: x at xi=0, dx/dxi at xi=0, x at xi=1. dx/dxi at xi=1.

Member Function Documentation

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::getDimension ( )

inline

Gets the number of dimensions of the elements this basis works with.

Returns

The number of dimensions.

enum FunctionType OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::getFunctionType ( int  chartComponent )

inline

Gets the basis function type for a component of the basis.

Parameters

chartComponent

The chart component to get the function for from 1 to dimension.

Returns

The basis function type.

cmzn_elementbasis_id OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::getId ( ) const

inline

Return the C handle of the Elementbasis object.

Returns

C handle of Elementbasis if this objects is valid, 0 otherwise.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::getNumberOfFunctions ( )

inline

If the basis is valid, gets the number of functions it has, which equals the number of parameters required. Note that with Hermite bases the parameters are grouped by nodes, i.e. all parameters for the first node are first, followed by those for the second node, and so on. Within the parameters for each node, parameters are ordered by the value/derivative type: the value is first, then DS1 derivatives cycle fastest followed by DS2 then DS3.

Returns

Number of parameters expected, or 0 if basis is incomplete or invalid.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::getNumberOfNodes ( )

inline

If the basis is valid, gets the number of nodes the basis expects.

Returns

number of nodes expected, or 0 if basis is incomplete or invalid.

bool OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::isValid ( ) const

inline

Check if this is a valid Elementbasis object.

Returns

Status True if object is valid, false otherwise.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementbasis::setFunctionType ( int  chartComponent, FunctionType  functionType  )

inline

Sets a simple basis function type for a component of the basis.

Parameters

chartComponent	The chart component to set the function for from 1 to dimension.
functionType	The basis type to use on the chosen chart component.

Returns

Status OpenCMISS::Zinc::OK on success, any other value on failure.
