public interface FemFieldPoint

Provides information about an FEM integration point that can be used to evaluate the value of a FieldComponent at that point.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getElementNumber() Returns the number of the element containing the point.
int	getElementSubIndex() Returns the index of the integration point within the element.
int	getElementType() Returns an integer describing the type of element containing the point.
int[]	getNodeNumbers() Returns the node numbers of the element containing the point.
double[]	getNodeWeights() Returns the nodal weights of the point within the element, with each weight corresponding to the node whose number is returned by getNodeNumbers().
Point3d	getRestPos() Returns the point's rest position.
Point3d	getSpatialPos() Returns the point's current spatial position.

Method Detail

getRestPos

Point3d getRestPos()

Returns the point's rest position.

getSpatialPos

Point3d getSpatialPos()

Returns the point's current spatial position.

getElementType

int getElementType()

Returns an integer describing the type of element containing the point. 0 indicates a volumetric element, 1 indicates a shell element.

getElementNumber

int getElementNumber()

Returns the number of the element containing the point.

getElementSubIndex

int getElementSubIndex()

Returns the index of the integration point within the element. This should be in the range 0 to n-1, where n is the total number of element integration point, including the warping point.

getNodeNumbers

int[] getNodeNumbers()

Returns the node numbers of the element containing the point.

getNodeWeights

double[] getNodeWeights()

Returns the nodal weights of the point within the element, with each weight corresponding to the node whose number is returned by getNodeNumbers().
