BoundingBoxTree create_midpoint_tree(const mesh::Mesh &mesh, int tdim, const xtl::span<const std::int32_t> &entity_indices)

Create a bounding box tree for a subset of entities (local to process) based on the entity midpoints.

Parameters

  • tdim – [in] The topological dimension of the entity

  • entity_indices – [in] List of local entity indices

Returns

Bounding box tree for midpoints of mesh entities

std::vector<std::array<int, 2>> compute_collisions(const BoundingBoxTree &tree0, const BoundingBoxTree &tree1)

Compute all collisions between two BoundingBoxTrees (local to process)

Parameters
Returns

List of pairs of intersecting box indices from each tree

graph::AdjacencyList<std::int32_t> compute_collisions(const BoundingBoxTree &tree, const xt::xtensor<double, 2> &points)

Compute all collisions between bounding boxes and for a set of points.

Parameters

  • tree – [in] The bounding box tree

  • points – [in] The points (shape=(num_points, 3))

Returns

An adjacency list where the ith node corresponds to the bounding box leaves that contain the ith point

std::vector<std::int32_t> compute_closest_entity(const BoundingBoxTree &tree, const BoundingBoxTree &midpoint_tree, const mesh::Mesh &mesh, const xt::xtensor<double, 2> &points)

Compute closest mesh entity to a point.

Note

Returns index -1 if the bounding box tree is empty

Parameters

  • tree – [in] The bounding box tree for the entities

  • midpoint_tree – [in] A bounding box tree with the midpoints of all the mesh entities. This is used to accelerate the search

  • mesh – [in] The mesh

  • points – [in] The set of points (shape=(num_points, 3))

Returns

Index of the closest mesh entity to a point. The ith entry is the index of the closest entity to the ith input point.

double compute_squared_distance_bbox(const xt::xtensor_fixed<double, xt::xshape<2, 3>> &b, const xt::xtensor_fixed<double, xt::xshape<3>> &x)

Compute squared distance between point and bounding box.

Parameters

  • b – [in] Bounding box coordinates

  • x – [in] A point

Returns

The shortest distance between the bounding box b and the point x. Returns zero if x is inside box.

xt::xtensor<double, 2> shortest_vector(const mesh::Mesh &mesh, int dim, const xtl::span<const std::int32_t> &entities, const xt::xtensor<double, 2> &points)

Compute the shortest vector from a mesh entity to a point.

Parameters

Returns

An array of vectors where the ith row is the shortest vector from the ith entity and the ith point

xt::xtensor<double, 1> squared_distance(const mesh::Mesh &mesh, int dim, const xtl::span<const std::int32_t> &entities, const xt::xtensor<double, 2> &points)

Compute the squared distance between a point and a mesh entity. The distance is computed between the ith input points and the ith input entity.

Note

Uses the GJK algorithm, see geometry::compute_distance_gjk for details.

Note

Uses a convex hull approximation of linearized geometry

Parameters

  • mesh – [in] Mesh containing the entities

  • dim – [in] The topological dimension of the mesh entities

  • entities – [in] The indices of the mesh entities (local to process)

  • points – [in] The set points from which to computed the shortest (shape=(num_points, 3))

Returns

Squared shortest distance from points[i] to entities[i]

graph::AdjacencyList<int> compute_colliding_cells(const mesh::Mesh &mesh, const graph::AdjacencyList<std::int32_t> &candidate_cells, const xt::xtensor<double, 2> &points)
