Detailed Description

MeshViz Utility class for tetrahedron cells.

Utility class that provides a static implementation of the MiVolumeCell's methods in a tetrahedron cell. This class is provided to make easier the creation of a class in the application that implements the MiVolumeCell interface for a tetrahedron cell.

The following image shows the nodes numbering and the faces numbering used by this class. The isosurface topology (see getIsosurfTopology()), weights (see getWeight()), and parametric coordinates (see getIsoParametricCoord()) are defined according to this node numbering.

static void MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getDerivs ( const MbVec3d ipcoord,
std::vector< double > &  derivs 
) [static]

Gets the value of the derivatives of the shape functions (aka weights) at the point given by its iso parametric coordinates.

Parameters:
[in] ipcoord The iso parametric coordinates of the input point. The reference space for the iso parametric coordinates is assumed to be [0-1]. Thus any point inside the cell has iso parametric coordinates in the interval [0-1].
[out] derivs This method computes the 18 values derivs[0-17]. It assumes the derivs vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 18 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the derivs::resize(18)
static MbVec3d MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getFacetNormal ( size_t  facetId,
const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell tetrahedronCell 
) [static]

Gets the normal of the given facet in a tetrahedron cell.

static MbVec3d MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getIsoParametricCoord ( size_t  nodeIndex  )  [inline, static]

Returns the iso parametric coordinates of one of the 4 nodes of a tetrahedron cell.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getIsoParametricCoord().

Parameters:
[in] nodeIndex Must be defined in the range [0-3]
static MbVec3d MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getIsoParametricCoord ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell tetrahedronCell,
const MbVec3d point 
) [static]

Computes the iso parametric coordinates of the given point in the given cell with the given geometry.

As computing the iso parametric coordinates of a point needs the coordinates of the cell's nodes, the given tetrahedronCell is assumed to contain 4 nodes.

Note:
Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:
     meshGeometry.getCoord(tetrahedronCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
    
for each i in the range [0-3].
Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] tetrahedronCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
static void MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getIsosurfTopology ( unsigned char  caseId,
std::vector< std::pair< size_t, size_t > > &  edgeList 
) [static]

Returns the isosurface topology of the associated caseId.

This method can be used in the getIsosurfTopology(...) implementation of a tetrahedron cell interface to return the information to the isosurface extraction module.

static double MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getLongestEdgeLength ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell cell 
) [static]

Gets the longest edge of a tetrahedron cell.

static double MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getShortestEdgeLength ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell cell 
) [static]

Gets the shortest edge of a tetrahedron cell.

static double MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getVolume ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell tetrahedronCell 
) [static]

Gets the volume of a tetrahedron cell.

static void MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getWeight ( const MbVec3d ipcoord,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

Gets the weights of a point defined by its iso parametric coordinates.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getWeight(ipcoord,weights) for a tetrahedron cell.

Parameters:
[in] ipcoord The iso parametric coordinates of the input point. The reference space for the iso parametric coordinates is assumed to be [0-1]. Thus any point inside the cell has iso parametric coordinates in the interval [0-1].
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3]. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights::resize(4)
static void MxTetrahedronCellExtract::getWeight ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell tetrahedronCell,
const MbVec3d point,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

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

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getWeight(meshGeometry,point,weights) for a tetrahedron cell. As computing the weights of a point needs the coordinates of the cell's nodes, the given tetrahedronCell is assumed to contain 4 nodes.

Note:
Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:
     meshGeometry.getCoord(tetrahedronCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
    
for each i in the range [0-3].
Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] tetrahedronCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3]. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights.resize(4)
static bool MxTetrahedronCellExtract::isPointInsideCell ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiVolumeCell tetrahedronCell,
const MbVec3d point,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

Checks if a point is inside or outside a tetrahedron cell.

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

Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] tetrahedronCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3] if the point is inside the cell. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights::resize(4)
Returns:
true if the point is inside the cell.
