Detailed Description

MeshViz Curvilinear volume mesh abstract interface.

A Curvilinear volume mesh is similar to a MiVolumeMeshIJK except that nodes are organized in a (NUMI+1,NUMJ+1,NUMK+1) array where they can be accessed by (i,j,k) indices. So each node located inside the mesh (not on a border) is shared by eight cells. However, the nodes are not evenly spaced as they can be in the MiVolumeMeshRectilinear or MiVolumeMeshRegular.

See also:
MiVolumeMeshHexahedronIjk for IJK meshes where adjacent cells do not share points.
Note:
Notice that, the virtual methods are the same as in the parent class. The RTTI system is used by some extraction algorithms to identify the mesh type in order to implement some specific optimization based on the properties described above.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const MiGeometryIjk& MiVolumeMeshCurvilinear::getGeometry (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the geometry of this mesh.

virtual std::ostream& MiVolumeMeshCurvilinear::toStream ( std::ostream &  s  )  const [inline, protected, virtual]

Performs an output operation on a stream which is returned afterward. This method is protected since only called by the output operator <<. This method is not pure virtual and output by default the geometry and topology of a mesh. Whenever a different output is needed, this method can be implemented in the subclass to get a different output format. No std::ostream& operator << needs to be defined in any subclass. This allows you to benefit from the virtual inheritance when using the output operator on an abstract class.

Reimplemented from MiMeshIjk.
