Detailed Description

template<class CoordType, unsigned int dim, unsigned int coorddim>
class Dune::AxisAlignedCubeGeometry< CoordType, dim, coorddim >

A geometry implementation for axis-aligned hypercubes.

This code is much faster than a generic implementation for hexahedral elements. All methods use the fact that a geometry for axis-aligned cubes is basically just a(n affine) scaling in the coordinate directions.

If dim < coorddim then local coordinates need to be suitably mapped to global ones. AxisAlignedCubeGeometry uses a special std::bitset 'axes' for this. 'axes' has coorddim entries, of which precisely 'dim' need to be set. Each set entry marks a local coordinate, i.e., a coordinate in which the cube has extension. The cube is flat in all other directions. Its coordinates in these directions is taking from the array called 'lower', which specifies the lower left corner of the hypercube.

In the case of dim==coorddim, the code goes into overdrive. Then special code path's are taken (statically) which omit the conditionals needed to sort out the embedding of local into global coordinates. Aggressive compiler/scheduler optimization becomes possible. Additionally, the types returned by the methods jacobianTransposed and jacobianInverseTransposed are dedicated types for diagonal matrices (DiagonalMatrix).

Template Parameters

CoordType	Type used for single coordinate coefficients
dim	Dimension of the cube
coorddim	Dimension of the space that the cube lives in

Member Typedef Documentation

JacobianInverseTransposed

template<class CoordType , unsigned int dim, unsigned int coorddim>

typedef std::conditional<dim==coorddim,DiagonalMatrix<ctype,dim>,FieldMatrix<ctype,coorddim,dim>>::type Dune::AxisAlignedCubeGeometry< CoordType, dim, coorddim >::JacobianInverseTransposed

Return type of jacobianInverseTransposed.

This is a fast DiagonalMatrix if dim==coorddim, and a FieldMatrix otherwise. The FieldMatrix will never contain more than one entry per column, hence it could be replaced by something more efficient.

JacobianTransposed

template<class CoordType , unsigned int dim, unsigned int coorddim>

typedef std::conditional<dim==coorddim,DiagonalMatrix<ctype,dim>,FieldMatrix<ctype,dim,coorddim>>::type Dune::AxisAlignedCubeGeometry< CoordType, dim, coorddim >::JacobianTransposed

Return type of jacobianTransposed.

This is a fast DiagonalMatrix if dim==coorddim, and a FieldMatrix otherwise. The FieldMatrix will never contain more than one entry per row, hence it could be replaced by something more efficient.

inline

Constructor from a lower left and an upper right corner.

Parameters

lower	Coordinates for the lower left corner.
upper	Coordinates for the upper right corner.
axes	Each bit set to 'true' here corresponds to a local coordinate axis. In other words, precisely 'dim' bits must be set here.
