Detailed Description

Topological description of polytope cells (polygons and polyhedrons) in terms of their subcells.

Polytope (2D polygon or 3D polyhedron)

A cell topology defines a polytope in terms of its vertex, edge, and side connectivity. However, a cell topology does not define a geometric realization of that polytope - it does not associate spatial coordinates with any of the vertices.

Dimension (of the polytope)

The dimension of cell topology is the smallest spatial dimension in which that cell can be realized. For example, a tetrahedron or quadrilateral shell can only be realized in a 3D space.

Base and Extended Cell Topologies

The base cell topology of a polytope associates exactly one $ {Cell}^{0} $ subcell with each vertex of the polytope. These vertices are given a canonical ordering from which vertex-ordinals are defined. For example, the vertex-ordinals for quadrilateral are defined counter-clockwise around the quadrilateral as (0,1,2,3). An extended cell topology is defined associating additional $ {Cell}^{0} $ subcells with the polytope's edges, sides, or interior. These additional $ {Cell}^{0} $ subcells are always ordered after the vertex subcells.

Node, Edge, Side, and Element Cells

Subcell Orientation

A subcell $ {Cell}^{d} $ of a parent $ {Cell}^{D} $, where $ 0 < d < D $, has vertices that are associated with the parent cell's vertices. This association defines a map from the subcell's vertex-ordinals to the parent's vertex-ordinals. For example, the four edge subcells of a quadrilateral have a vertex-ordinal map of ( (0,1), (1,2), (2,3), (3,0) ).

Function Documentation

std::ostream& shards::operator<< ( std::ostream &  ,
const CellTopology &

const unsigned  cellDim = 4,
const ECellType  cellType = ALL_CELLS,
const ETopologyType  topologyType = ALL_TOPOLOGIES 
)

Returns an std::vector with all cell topologies that meet the specified selection flags.

Parameters
topologies[out] - vector with all topologies that
cellDim[in] - cell dimension; 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (default = all dimensions)
cellType[in] - cell type: default = ALL_CELLS
topologyType[in] - topology type: default = ALL_TOPOLOGIES
int shards::isPredefinedCell ( const CellTopology &  cell)

Checks if the cell topology is predefined in shards.

Parameters
cell[in] - cell topology
Returns
1 if the cell topology is defined in shards, 0 if it is a custom, user-defined cell-topology
void shards::badCellTopologyKey ( const unsigned  dimension,
const unsigned  face_count,
const unsigned  edge_count,
const unsigned  vertex_count,
const unsigned  node_count 
)

Generates detailed message if one or more input parameters are out of their admissible bounds.

Parameters
dimension[in] - maximum value = 7
face_count[in] - maximum value = 63
edge_count[in] - maximum value = 63
vertex_count[in] - maximum value = 63
node_count[in] - maximum value = 1023
unsigned shards::cellTopologyKey ( const unsigned  dimension,
const unsigned  face_count,
const unsigned  edge_count,
const unsigned  vertex_count,
const unsigned  node_count 
)
inline

Generate integer key from topological dimensions.

Parameters
dimension[in] - maximum value = 7 (3 bits)
face_count[in] - maximum value = 63 (6 bits)
edge_count[in] - maximum value = 63 (6 bits)
vertex_count[in] - maximum value = 63 (6 bits)
node_count[in] - maximum value = 1023 (10 bits) The key uses all but the first bit in a 32 bit unsigned.
