Detailed Description

Base interface class for Mesh type plugins.

This Mesh interface is a simple one that supports handling of nodes and its associated attributes and/or state variables. It must be implemented by every physical mesh object exported by mesh type plugins.

The use of abstract interfaces allow for the concrete implementations to have complete control of how the node data is stored in memory (by node data we mean coordinates, attributes and state variables).

Altough this is true, most implementations will store attribute and state variable data as continuous arrays. Also, the mesh must be able to add storage space for new attributes / state variables even if the underlying mesh implementation, done by the plugin, does not support this (the mesh can obtain its data from a pre-existing read-only structure, for example).

Considering this scenario, the Mesh interface is not a pure virtual one. The default implementation manages to store a map of attributes and state variables, which are generalised in the concept of a node value, each implemented as a GmValueSet. A new attribute / state var can be added by a call to addNodeValueSet(), and that method can be used by a physics who wants to add a new attribute to a mesh or by the concrete mesh implementation to add its original attributes and state variables. Values should be later filled with the use of an accessor, as published by the mesh interface.

By using this infrastructure, the underlying concrete mesh implementation can easily handle attributes that can be scalar, vector or matrices, with their values given by constants or by functions, as implemented by GmValueSet. The only prerequisite is that attributes should be added after the number of nodes is known.

If, on the other hand, the mesh wants to have full control of how attributes are stored in memory, they can override the full set of virtual functions handling attributes. In that case, just keep in mind that support for adding new attributes / state variables is required, even if that cannot be handled by the plugin mesh itself (which can easily be handle by using the original basic functions in that case)

Node coordinates are also accessed by means of a specialized value accessor that returns node coordinates for each node as a vector. Meta data describing the number of dimensions and representation unit for each coordinate can be obtained by means of an GmValueInfo object bound to the coordinates.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addGhostNodes()

virtual int GmMesh::addGhostNodes ( int numNodes)
inlinevirtual

Similar to addNodes, this function adds ghost nodes to the mesh, WHITHOUT initializing their coordinates or attributes. This function should be reimplemented by mesh implementations that support ghost nodes (hasCapability("ghostNodes") returns true).

On error, this function should leave the mesh unchanged and return -1. If called with numNodes equal to 0, it should return -2. On success, it should return the index of the first new node. The returned index is a value that varies from 0 to numGhostNodes() - 1 (This function does NOT returns indices with the highest bit set since that would conflict with the negative values used on error).

Please read the documentation of addNodes() for additional details.

◆ addNodes()

virtual int GmMesh::addNodes ( int numNodes)
inlinevirtual

Adds numNodes to the mesh, WHITHOUT initializing their coordinates or attributes.

This function should be reimplemented by mesh implementations that support mesh edition (hasCapability("addNodes") returns true). It should increase the space for nodes by 'numNodes' new entries. Node coordinates will be later filled by the USER with a node coordinate accessor. If the mesh has attributes and state vars, this function should also make sure that those value sets are redimensioned and the new values initialised with value defaults.

On error, this function should leave the mesh unchanged and return -1. On success, it should return the index of the first new node. If called with numNodes equal to 0, it should return -2.

IMPORTANT: This function might invalidate any data pointer returned by previous accessors. The accessor themselves remain valid, but any pointers returned by calls to value() / other functions might become invalid.

IMPORTANT 2: Users of this function should call emitMeshChanged() after changes to the mesh are completed. That allows for other objects that depend on mesh number of nodes and cell geometry to respond to the changes. The FEM assembler is an example of such object.

◆ addNodeValueSet()

bool GmMesh::addNodeValueSet ( GmValueInfo * info)
virtual

Creates a new value set for storing data associated with the metadata information received as a parameter.

The new value set takes ownership of the info object. It should be noted that info MUST have kind equal to GM_NODE_ATTRIBUTE or GM_NODE_STATEVAR.

If this function is being called during mesh loading / initialization, the added attribute will only be available for value filling through an accessor after the call to initNodeValueSets(), which should be made AFTER the mesh already knows its number of nodes.

When called after attribute initialization, the new attribute will be imediately initialized with the correct size and will be ready for filling, unless the call is inside a beginAddingNodeAttributeSets() / endAddingNodeAttributeSets call block. In that later case, the new attribute size initialization is delayed untill the end call. This allows for the addition of several attributes to a new or existing "interleaved pack" in a much more efficient way.

The function returns false in case of errors (memory could not be allocated, or the mesh already has a node attribute with the requested id, for example). In that case, info is NOT deallocated by addNodeValueSet().

◆ addStateAccessorData()

bool GmMesh::addStateAccessorData ( GmStateDump * state,
int groupId )
protectedvirtual

Adds to 'state' accessors for all the data stored on state variables or node attributes associated with this mesh. This includes all histories. Returns true on success or false on error.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ addStateItemsToGroup()

bool GmMesh::addStateItemsToGroup ( GmStateDump * state,
int groupId )
protectedvirtual

Adds to 'state' a data item storing a control map, followed by geometry data filled by addStateGeometryData(), followed by mesh attribute data filled by addStateAccessorData(). All the items are added to the given group. Returns true on success or false on error.

This ordering ensures that the control data is loaded first, followed by the geometry data and only then by mesh data stored through accessors. Keep in mind that when restoring value sets it is necessary that the mesh geometry is already loaded.

Auxiliar variant map dump item that notifies the mesh for loading and saving data to the map

< Our "father" mesh object

Implements GmGroupDumpItem.

◆ clear()

virtual void GmMesh::clear ( )
inlinevirtual

Clears mesh nodes (and cells + other mesh related information depending on the concrete mesh type) if the mesh supports this operation (hasCapability("clear") returns true).

Keep in mind that this function does not remove the set of state vars or attributes added to the mesh, although it clears its stored values.

◆ dumpControlMapDataLoaded()

bool GmMesh::dumpControlMapDataLoaded ( QVariantMap * map,
const GmLogCategory & logger )
protectedvirtual

Sanity checks + processing of the dump control data map after a load operation.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ fillDumpControlMapData()

bool GmMesh::fillDumpControlMapData ( QVariantMap * map,
const GmLogCategory & logger )
protectedvirtual

Fills the dump control data map with mesh data prior to a save operation On errors, should return false and report the error through the provided state dump logger.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ ghostNodeValueSetGroup()

GmValueSetGroup * GmMesh::ghostNodeValueSetGroup ( ) const
inline

Returns the ValueSetGroup object used to store the set of mesh ghost node value sets. This is a very specialized function. Use only if you know what you are doing...

The returned group will contain value sets for state vars and attributes with node data storage equal to GM_GHOST_NODE or GM_BOTH. It does NOT include GM_GEOMETRY_NODE value sets. Also keep in mind that the value sets with GM_BOTH included in this group are different from the ones in the group returned by nodeValueSetGroup(), storing data only for the ghost nodes part.

IMPORTANT: The returned group might contain NULL entries.

IMPORTANT 2: The returned group contains the value sets stored by the base mesh implementation. Concrete mesh classes are free not to use this mechanism to store all of their data, so implementations that can be handling with any kind of mesh plugins should refrain from using this function.

◆ hasCapability()

virtual bool GmMesh::hasCapability ( QString capabilityName) const
pure virtual

This function should return true or false to indicate whether the mesh implementation supports the requested capability or not. Capabilities are refered by string names in order to enable derived interfaces to extend the available capabilities that can be queried.

Standard capability names: addNodes - Does the mesh support adding new nodes? addCells - Does the mesh support adding new cells? topology - Does the mesh support topological queries? ghostNodes - Does the mesh support adding/removing ghost nodes? editGroups - Does the mesh support adding cell groups and adding cells to groups? clear - Does the mesh support clearing (removing) all nodes and cells and later addition of new ones? stateDump - Does the mesh support state dumping and restoring for restart operations?

◆ isGhostNode()

static bool GmMesh::isGhostNode ( int nodeIndex)
inlinestatic

Returns true if the given index is a ghost node index, false if not.

Ghost node indices are values that vary from 0 to numGhostNodes() - 1 WITH their high bit SET in order to make a distinction between common indices and ghost node indices.
That means that, for example, the first two ghost nodes have, respectively, an index equal to 0x80000000 and 0x80000001 if node indexes are stored in 32 bit integers. Also notice that -1 is equal to 0xFFFFFFFF and so we can "safelly" have methods that return -1 on errors, even when the return can be a ghost node (supposing that we have less than 2 billion ghost nodes in he mesh - we would probably have many other problems if that limit is ever reached).

◆ nodeCoordAccessor()

virtual GmValueAccessor * GmMesh::nodeCoordAccessor ( Unit desiredUnit,
const GmLogCategory & logger ) const
pure virtual

Returns an accessor object used to access node coordinates.

The logger parameter exists to allow for the accessor to use a different logger than the mesh one to report errors. For example, in an analysis context it might be interesting to report errors through the physics plugin logger instead of by the mesh logger.

◆ nodeStateVarAccessorFromDof()

GmValueAccessor * GmMesh::nodeStateVarAccessorFromDof ( int dof,
Unit desiredUnit,
GmStateVar ** stateVar ) const
virtual

Creates an accessor object for the state var associated with the requested degree of freedom number. Returns NULL if the dof number is invalid or if that state var is not associated with this mesh.

For state vars that store vector values, the state var can be recognized by any value in the range covered by its base dof and the next 'n-1' values where 'n' is the vector size.

If stateVar is different from NULL, returns the state var.

IMPORTANT: To recover an accessor for a state var with known id, it's much better to call nodeValueAccessor(). This is not a fast function since there are no special indices to find a state var from its dof number (but that really should not be a problem unless you have hundreds of state vars or if you need to call this in a thight lopp, which you shouldn't any way).

If desiredUnit is a known unit, different from the basic node value unit, the value will be automatically converted to the desired unit. If no conversion is possible, the function returns NULL. To avoid conversions, just pass Unit() as the desiredUnit.

IMPORTANT 2: The returned accessor should be deallocated by the caller.

◆ nodeValueAccessor() [1/2]

GmValueAccessor * GmMesh::nodeValueAccessor ( QString id,
int snum,
bool locked,
Unit desiredUnit,
const GmLogCategory & logger ) const
virtual

Overloads nodeValueAccessor(QString, Unit, ...) to return an accessor for the requested previous state of a value.

The snum parameter contains the requested state. A value of zero means the current state, 1 the previous one, 2 the one before that and so on. Valid values range from zero to the oldest state for the requested variable, which can be queried with a call to numNodeValueStates(). Remember that for a value accessor to support states, the history parameter must be set in its value info object.

The locked parameter control the behaviour of the accessor once a new state is created for the value. The 'lock' refers to the state number, so if locked is false and a new state is created, the accessor doesn't change and continues to point to the same data. If locked is true, the accessor will be locked to that state number so when a new state is created, the accessor changes the data its looking upon to reflect the new state. For example, an accessor locked on the state 0 will always point to the current state and one locked to the state 1 will always point to the previous saved value.

See the overloaded function for the remaining parameters.

◆ nodeValueAccessor() [2/2]

GmValueAccessor * GmMesh::nodeValueAccessor ( QString id,
Unit desiredUnit,
const GmLogCategory & logger ) const
virtual

Creates an accessor object for the values (attribute / state var) associated with the value id.

Remember that node attributes and state vars should have unique ids among themselves. If the id does not refer to a known attribute / state var, returns NULL.

If desiredUnit is a known unit, different from the basic node value unit, the value will be automatically converted to the desired unit. If no conversion is possible, the function returns NULL. To avoid conversions, just pass Unit() as the desiredUnit.

The logger parameter exists to allow for the accessor to use a different logger than the mesh one to report errors. For example, in an analysis context it might be interesting to report errors through the physics plugin logger instead of by the mesh logger.

IMPORTANT: The returned accessor should be deallocated by the caller.

Obs: This is equivalent to calling nodeValueAccessor(id, 0, true, desiredUnit, logger)

◆ nodeValueInfo()

GmValueInfo * GmMesh::nodeValueInfo ( QString id,
int filter = -1 ) const
virtual

Returns the metadata describing the values (attribute / state var) associated with the value id.

Remember that node attributes and state vars should have unique ids among themselves. If the id does not refer to a known attribute / state var, returns NULL.

If filter != -1, it should be one of GM_NODE_ATTRIBUTE or GM_NODE_STATEVAR and defines that the return value should be NULL if a matching value does not have the specified type.

◆ nodeValueSetGroup()

GmValueSetGroup * GmMesh::nodeValueSetGroup ( ) const
inline

Returns the ValueSetGroup object used to store the set of mesh node value sets. This is a very specialized function. Use only if you know what you are doing...

The returned group will contain value sets for state vars and attributes with node data storage equal to GM_GEOMETRY_NODE or GM_BOTH. It does NOT include GM_GHOST_NODE value sets. Also keep in mind that the value sets with GM_BOTH included in this group are different from the ones in the group returned by ghostNodeValueSetGroup(), storing data only for the common nodes part.

IMPORTANT: The returned group might contain NULL entries. Although strange, allowing this makes the GmMesh implementation easier.

IMPORTANT 2: The returned group contains the value sets stored by the base mesh implementation. Concrete mesh classes are free not to use this mechanism to store all of their data, so implementations that can be handling with any kind of mesh plugins should refrain from using this function.

◆ pluginCategory()

virtual const char * GmMesh::pluginCategory ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Returns the plugin category.

Implements GmPluginObject.

◆ printParameters()

void GmMesh::printParameters ( const GmLogCategory & logger)
virtual

Asks the mesh to print all of its parameters using the provided logger.

The default implementation logs the data, as seen through the access interface. Restricting ourselves to the published interface allows this function to work well even if the concrete mesh plugin reimplements completely the attribute / state vars system

Implements GmPluginObject.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ printValues()

void GmMesh::printValues ( const GmLogCategory & logger,
int options = GM_PRINT_DEFAULT )
virtual

Asks the mesh to print all of its node and cell data using the provided logger and requested options.

The default implementation logs the node data, as seen through the access interface. The options parameter should be an 'or' of GmPrintUtilsFlags entries.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ pushProxy()

virtual void GmMesh::pushProxy ( lua_State * L,
const GmLogCategory & logger )
pure virtual

Pushes a proxy object for the current mesh onto the Lua stack.

The proxy object should be a sub class of GmLuaMesh and can include specific functions not in the standard mesh interfaces. This interface is based on pushing the object on the Lua stack and not by returning a GmLuaMesh object since the later option would create a circular dependency between the GemaCore library and the GemaLuaCore library.

◆ saveNodeValueState()

bool GmMesh::saveNodeValueState ( QString id,
GmValueSet::SaveStateMode mode,
const GmLogCategory & logger )
virtual

Saves the current state for the requested id, creating a new current state.

If the value does not supports history values, does nothing, returning false. The mode parameter defines how the new state will be initialized (with a copy of the old one, with the value default or uninitialized).

The time associated with the new current state is initialized to the value of the current time as seen from the simulation data object. This can later be changed by a call to setNodeValueStateTime().

Returns true if the state was created successfully, false otherwise.

◆ saveState()

bool GmMesh::saveState ( GmValueSet::SaveStateMode mode,
const GmLogCategory & logger )
virtual

Simmilar to saveNodeValueState(), saves the current state of all values that support state saving. See saveNodeValueState() for more details.

Reimplemented in GmCellMesh, and GmElementMesh.

◆ toLinearGhostIndex()

int GmMesh::toLinearGhostIndex ( int nodeIndex) const
inline

If nodeIndex is a value with its high bit set, returns the index (high bit cleared)

  • the number of regular mesh nodes. Otherwise, returns nodeIndex

◆ useDualVectors()

virtual bool GmMesh::useDualVectors ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the mesh data is stored in a "dual" vector, instead of a single one.

The dual vector policy separates the data into a initial set and a "growing" set for later added values. This can be interesting for dynamic meshes where new nodes / cells are added often during the simulation, but still representing a small fraction of the mesh size. With the Dual vector policy, only the "growing" part is resized. The choice of which vector to use is entirely to the plugin implementation and might be based on a user setting.

◆ _cUserFuncObjMap

QMap<QString, GmPhysicsUserFunctions*> GmMesh::_cUserFuncObjMap
mutableprivate

A map storing physics user function objects indexed by the name of the plugin implementing the object.

When a C user function is attached to the mesh (by a node/cell attribute or property) an object created by the plugin that implements the c function is instanced and associated to the mesh. If a plugin exports more than one function attached to the same mesh, the same object is shared between the functions.

The map owns the physics objects that will be deleted when the mesh is destroyed. Marked as mutable since the map is filled in a lazy way when evaluating user functions that have a reference to a const mesh.
