Interface MiTopologyIjk

All Superinterfaces:
MiTopology
All Known Subinterfaces:
MiHexahedronTopologyExplicitIjk
public interface MiTopologyIjk extends MiTopology
List of volume cells interface.

A generic interface for a structured implicit volume mesh topology. Cells are all implicitly defined as hexahedron so there is no need for specifying a list of cells.
The number of cells on each dimension defines completely the topology.

  • Method Details

    • getNumCellsI

      int getNumCellsI()
      Returns the number of cells on the first logical axis.
      Returns:
      the number of cells on the first logical axis.

    • getNumCellsJ

      int getNumCellsJ()
      Returns the number of cells on the second logical axis.
      Returns:
      the number of cells on the second logical axis.

    • getNumCellsK

      int getNumCellsK()
      Returns the number of cells on the third logical axis.
      Returns:
      the number of cells on the third logical axis.

    • isDead

      boolean isDead(int i, int j, int k)
      Returns true if the cell at the specified position should be ignored. This value is ignored if the hasDeadCell method returns false.

      The implementation of this method must be thread-safe because it might be called concurrently by multiple threads. The way this method is implemented is critical for performance. Any inefficient implementation may impact very significantly the duration of the skin or slab extractions. For instance, using a mutex to ensure this method is thread-safe is in general not efficient.

      Parameters:
      i - the i-index of the cell to check
      j - the j-index of the cell to check
      k - the k-index of the cell to check
      Returns:
      true if the cell should be ignored.
