Detailed Description

Utility class for polygon cells.

Utility class that provides a static implementation of the MiVolumeCell interface methods for a polygon cell. This class is provided to make it easier to create a class that implements the MiVolumeCell interface for a polygon cell.

• Value of the weights (aka shape functions) in a polygon cell (see getWeight())
• Localization test (see isPointInsideCell())

Member Function Documentation

static double MxPolygonCellExtract::getArea	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell
	)			[static]

Computes the area of all planar or almost-planar irregular polygon (convex and concave).

Parameters:

[in]	meshGeometry	The geometry of the mesh.
[in]	polygonCell	The input cell.

static double MxPolygonCellExtract::getLongestEdgeLength	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell
	)			[static]

Gets the longest edge of a polygon cell.

static MbVec3d MxPolygonCellExtract::getNormal	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell
	)			[static]

Computes the average normal to the given planar or almost-planar polygon cell.

This is done by using Newell's method.

Parameters:

[in]	meshGeometry	The geometry of the mesh.
[in]	polygonCell	The input cell.

static double MxPolygonCellExtract::getShortestEdgeLength	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell
	)			[static]

Gets the shortest edge of a polygon cell.

static void MxPolygonCellExtract::getWeight	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell,
		const MbVec3d &	point,
		std::vector< double > &	weights
	)			[static]

Gets the barycentric weights in the given polygon cell of the given point.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getWeight(meshGeometry,point,weights) for a polygon cell.

Note:

Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:

  meshGeometry.getCoord(polygonCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
  

for each i with 0 <= i < polygonCell->getNumNodes()

Parameters:

[in]	meshGeometry	The geometry of the mesh.
[in]	polygonCell	The input cell.
[in]	point	The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out]	weights	This method computes the N values weights[0,N-1], where N=polygonCell->getNumNodes(). It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to N (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights.resize(N)

static bool MxPolygonCellExtract::isPointInsideCell	(	const MiGeometryI &	meshGeometry,
		const MiSurfaceCell *	polygonCell,
		const MbVec3d &	point,
		std::vector< double > &	weights
	)			[static]

Checks if a point is inside the given polygon cell.

Note:

Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:

  meshGeometry.getCoord(polygonCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
  

for each i with 0 <= i < polygonCell->getNumNodes()

Parameters:

[in]	meshGeometry	The geometry of the mesh.
[in]	polygonCell	The input cell.
[in]	point	The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out]	weights	This method computes the N values weights[0,N-1], where N=polygonCell->getNumNodes(). It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to N (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights.resize(N)
