Detailed Description

MeshViz Utility class for quadrangle cells.

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

The following image shows the nodes numbering used by this class. The weights (see getWeight()), and parametric coordinates (see getIsoParametricCoord()) are defined according to this node numbering.

static void MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getDerivs ( const MbVec3d ipcoord,
std::vector< double > &  derivs 
) [static]

Gets the value of the derivatives of the shape functions (aka weights) at the point given by its iso parametric coordinates.

Parameters:
[in] ipcoord The iso parametric coordinates of the input point. The reference space for the iso parametric coordinates is assumed to be [0-1]. Thus any point inside the cell has iso parametric coordinates in the interval [0-1].
[out] derivs This method computes the 12 values derivs[0-11]. It assumes the derivs vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 12 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the derivs::resize(12)
static MbVec3d MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getIsoParametricCoord ( size_t  nodeIndex  )  [static]

Returns the iso parametric coordinates of one of the 4 nodes of a quadrangle cell.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getIsoParametricCoord().

Parameters:
[in] nodeIndex Must be defined in the range [0-3]
static MbVec3d MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getIsoParametricCoord ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiSurfaceCell quadrangleCell,
const MbVec3d point 
) [static]

Computes the iso parametric coordinates of the given point in the given cell with the given geometry.

As computing the iso parametric coordinates of a point needs the coordinates of the cell's nodes, the given quadrangleCell is assumed to contain 4 nodes.

Note:
Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:
     meshGeometry.getCoord(quadrangleCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
    
for each i in the range [0-3].
Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] quadrangleCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
static double MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getLongestEdgeLength ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiSurfaceCell cell 
) [static]

Gets the longest edge of a quadrangle cell.

static double MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getShortestEdgeLength ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiSurfaceCell cell 
) [static]

Gets the shortest edge of a quadrangle cell.

static void MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getWeight ( const MbVec3d ipcoord,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

Gets the weights of a point defined by its iso parametric coordinates.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getWeight(ipcoord,weights) for a quadrangle cell.

Parameters:
[in] ipcoord The iso parametric coordinates of the input point. The reference space for the iso parametric coordinates is assumed to be [0-1]. Thus any point inside the cell has iso parametric coordinates in the interval [0-1].
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3]. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights::resize(4)
static void MxQuadrangleCellExtract::getWeight ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiSurfaceCell quadrangleCell,
const MbVec3d point,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

Gets the weights in the given cell of the given point.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::getWeight(meshGeometry,point,weights) for a quadrangle cell. As computing the weights of a point needs the coordinates of the cell's nodes, the given quadrangleCell is assumed to contain 4 nodes.

Note:
Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:
     meshGeometry.getCoord(quadrangleCell->getNodeIndex(i)) 
    
for each i in the range [0-3].
Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] quadrangleCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3]. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights.resize(4)
static bool MxQuadrangleCellExtract::isPointInsideCell ( const MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
const MiSurfaceCell quadrangleCell,
const MbVec3d point,
std::vector< double > &  weights 
) [inline, static]

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

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell::isPointInsideCell(meshGeometry,point,weights) for a quadrangle cell.

Parameters:
[in] meshGeometry The geometry of the mesh.
[in] quadrangleCell The input cell.
[in] point The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.
[out] weights This method computes the 4 values weights[0-3] if the point is inside the cell. It assumes the weights vector array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to 4 (at least) before calling this method, using for instance the weights::resize(4)
Returns:
true if the point is inside the cell.
