Detailed Description

A description of element shape and field definitions.

A description of element shape and field definitions (incl. basis, parameter mappings), used as a template for creating new elements in a mesh, or merging into an element to define additional fields on it.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::defineFieldSimpleNodal	(	const Field &	field,
		int	componentNumber,
		const Elementbasis &	basis,
		int	nodeIndexesCount,
		const int *	nodeIndexesIn
	)

inline

Defines a nodally interpolated element field or field component in the element_template. Only Lagrange, simplex and constant basis function types may be used with this function, i.e. where only a simple node value is mapped. Shape must be set before calling this function.

Parameters

field	The field to define. Must be finite_element type.
componentNumber	The component to define from 1 to the number of field components, or -1 to define all components with identical basis and nodal mappings.
basis	The element basis to use for all field components.
nodeIndexesCount	The number of nodes indexed by the basis, equals the size of the local_node_indexes array.
nodeIndexesIn	Array containing the local node indexes of the nodes from which element field parameters are mapped, which range from 1 to the number of nodes set for the element_template. Local nodes are ordered by lowest xi coordinate varying fastest, e.g. for biquadratic Lagrange: xi = (0,0), (0.5,0), (1,0), (0,0.5), (0.5,0.5) ...

Returns: Status OpenCMISS::Zinc::OK on success, any other value on failure.

enum Element::ShapeType OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::getElementShapeType ( )

inline

Gets the current element shape type set in the element_template.

Returns: The element shape type enumeration set in the element template.

cmzn_elementtemplate_id OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::getId ( ) const

inline

Return the C handle of the Elementtemplate object.

Returns: C handle of Elementtemplate if this objects is valid, 0 otherwise.

Node OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::getNode ( int localNodeIndex )

inline

Gets the global node at a given local node index in the element_template. May only be called after the definition of element fields are complete and valid.

Parameters

localNodeIndex The index from 1 to number of nodes in template.

Returns: Handle to global node, or NULL/invalid handle if none or failed.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::getNumberOfNodes ( )

inline

Gets the number of local nodes this element_template can address.

Returns: The number of local nodes, or 0 on error.

bool OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::isValid ( ) const

inline

Check if this is a valid Elementtemplate object.

Returns: Status True if object is valid, false otherwise.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::setElementShapeType ( enum Element::ShapeType shapeType )

inline

Sets the element shape to a standard element shape type. The shape must have the same dimension as the mesh from which the element template was created. Special value CMZN_ELEMENT_SHAPE_TYPE_INVALID indicates an unspecified shape of known; when this is set in the template it does not override the shape of any elements it is merged into. Beware that face mappings are lost if shape changes are merged into global elements. Shape must be set before the template can set local nodes, create new elements and merge into existing elements.

Parameters

shapeType Enumeration of standard element shapes.

Returns: Status OpenCMISS::Zinc::OK on success, any other value on failure.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::setNode	(	int	localNodeIndex,
		const Node &	node
	)

inline

Sets the global node at a given local node index in the element_template. May only be called after the definition of element fields are complete and valid. Nodes are reset if new element fields are defined on the template.

Parameters

localNodeIndex	The index from 1 to number of nodes in template.
node	The global node to set at that index.

Returns: Status OpenCMISS::Zinc::OK on success, any other value on failure.

int OpenCMISS::Zinc::Elementtemplate::setNumberOfNodes ( int numberOfNodes )

inline

Sets the number of local nodes this element_template can address. This must be done before defining fields that index them. This number cannot be reduced.

Parameters

numberOfNodes The number of nodes.

Returns: Status OpenCMISS::Zinc::OK on success, otherwise OpenCMISS::Zinc::ERROR_ARGUMENT.
