sfepy.discrete.fem.fields_base module

Notes

Important attributes of continuous (order > 0) Field and SurfaceField instances:

• vertex_remap : econn[:, :n_vertex] = vertex_remap[conn]

• vertex_remap_i : conn = vertex_remap_i[econn[:, :n_vertex]]

where conn is the mesh vertex connectivity, econn is the region-local field connectivity.

class sfepy.discrete.fem.fields_base.FEField(name, dtype, shape, region, approx_order=1)

Base class for finite element fields.

Notes

• interps and hence node_descs are per region (must have single geometry!)

Field shape information:

• shape - the shape of the base functions in a point

• n_components - the number of DOFs per FE node

• val_shape - the shape of field value (the product of DOFs and base functions) in a point

Notes

Integration modes: - ‘cell’: integration over cells/elements - ‘facet’: integration over cell facets (faces, edges) - ‘facet_extra’: same as ‘facet’ but also the normal derivatives

are evaluated

• ‘point’: point integration

• ‘custom’: user defined integration

Dimensions: - n_el, n_fa = number of elements/facets - n_qp = number of quadrature points per element/facet - dim = spatial dimension - n_en, n_fn = number of element/facet nodes - n_nod = number of element nodes

Get extended connectivity of the given type in the given region.

Parameters:

region: sfepy.discrete.common.region.Region

The region for which the connectivity is required.

trace_region: None or string

If not None, return mirror connectivity according to local.

local: bool

If True, return local connectivity w.r.t. facet nodes, otherwise return global connectivity w.r.t. all mesh nodes.

Returns:

cacheStruct instance

The evaluate cache.

get_output_approx_order()

Get the approximation order used in the output file.

get_qp(key, integral)

Get quadrature points and weights corresponding to the given key and integral. The key is ‘v’, ‘s#’ or ‘b#’, where # is the number of face vertices. For ‘b#’, the quadrature must already be created by calling FEField.create_bqp(), usually through FEField.create_mapping().
