public class MxPyramidCellExtract
extends MxCellExtract

Utility class for pyramid cells.

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

• Extraction of the topology of an isosurface in a pyramid
  See getIsosurfTopology(int, int[])
• Localization test
  See isPointInsideCell(MiGeometryI, MiVolumeCell, double[], double[])

The following image shows the node numbering and the face numbering used by this class. The isosurface topology ( getIsosurfTopology ) is defined according to this node numbering.

Method Details

isPointInsideCell

public static boolean isPointInsideCell(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
 MiVolumeCell pyramidCell,
 double[] point,
 double[] weights)

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

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell.isPointInsideCell(MiGeometryI, double[], double[]) for a pyramid cell.

Parameters:

meshGeometry - the geometry of the mesh

pyramidCell - the input cell.

point - the input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry

weights - the array into which the weight values are to be stored. This method computes the 5 values weights[0-4] if the point is inside the cell. It assumes the weights array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 5 (at least) before calling this method

Returns:

true if the point is inside the cell

getLongestEdgeLength

public static double getLongestEdgeLength(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
 MiVolumeCell cell)

Gets the longest edge of a pyramid cell.

Parameters:

meshGeometry - the geometry of the mesh

cell - the input cell

Returns:

the longest edge of the specified cell

getIsosurfTopology

public static int[] getIsosurfTopology(int caseId,
 int[] edges)

Returns the isosurface topology of the associated case Id.

This method can be used in the getIsosurfTopology implementation of an pyramid cell interface to return the information to the isosurface extraction module.

Parameters:

caseId - the isosurf "marching cube" entry for the cell

edges - The array into which the isosurface topology is to be stored: array of node indices ordered by pair defining an edge, polygons are separated by MxMeshViz.END_LIST, the end of the topology definition is indicated by a pair of MxMeshViz.END_LIST.

Returns:

The array into which the isosurface topology is stored.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the caseId > 0x1F
