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)[source]

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

  • surface mappings are defined on the surface region
