High-order 'nodes', e.g. mid-side points, should not be included.

Returns: Destination ranks for each cell on this process

◆ compute_entity_permutations()

std::pair< std::vector< std::uint8_t >, std::vector< std::uint32_t > > compute_entity_permutations ( const Topology & topology )

Compute (1) facet rotation and reflection data, and (2) cell permutation data. This information is used assemble of (1) facet inetgrals and (2) vector elements.

Get the permutation numbers to apply to facets. The permutations are numbered so that:
- n % 2 gives the number of reflections to apply
- n // 2 gives the number of rotations to apply
Each column of the returned array represents a cell, and each row a facet of that cell. This data is used to permute the quadrature point on facet integrals when data from the cells on both sides of the facet is used.
Get the permutation information about the entities of each cell, relative to a low-to-high ordering. This data is packed so that a 32 bit int is used for each cell. For 2D cells, one bit is used for each edge, to represent whether or not the edge is reversed: the least significant bit is for edge 0, the next for edge 1, etc. For 3D cells, three bits are used for each face, and for each edge: the least significant bit says whether or not face 0 is reflected, the next 2 bits say how many times face 0 is rotated; the next three bits are for face 1, then three for face 2, etc; after all the faces, there is 1 bit for each edge to say whether or not they are reversed.

For example, if a quadrilateral has cell permutation info ....0111 then (from right to left):
- edge 0 is reflected (1)
- edge 1 is reflected (1)
- edge 2 is reflected (1)
- edge 3 is not permuted (0)
and if a tetrahedron has cell permutation info ....011010010101001000 then (from right to left):
- face 0 is not permuted (000)
- face 1 is reflected (001)
- face 2 is rotated twice then reflected (101)
- face 3 is rotated once (010)
- edge 0 is not permuted (0)
- edge 1 is reflected (1)
- edge 2 is not permuted (0)
- edge 3 is reflected (1)
- edge 4 is reflected (1)
- edge 5 is not permuted (0)
This data is used to correct the direction of vector function on permuted facets.

Returns: Facet permutation and cells permutations

◆ compute_incident_entities()

◆ create_topology()

Topology create_topology	(	MPI_Comm	comm,
		const graph::AdjacencyList< std::int64_t > &	cells,
		const std::span< const std::int64_t > &	original_cell_index,
		const std::span< const int > &	ghost_owners,
		const CellType &	cell_type,
		GhostMode	ghost_mode
	)

Create a distributed mesh topology.

Parameters

[in]	comm	MPI communicator across which the topology is distributed
[in]	cells	The cell topology (list of vertices for each cell) using global indices for the vertices. It contains cells that have been distributed to this rank, e.g. via a graph partitioner. It must also contain all ghost cells via facet, i.e. cells that are on a neighboring process and share a facet with a local cell.
[in]	original_cell_index	The original global index associated with each cell
[in]	ghost_owners	The owning rank of each ghost cell (ghost cells are always at the end of the list of `cells`)
[in]	cell_type	The cell shape
[in]	ghost_mode	Type of cell ghosting: none, shared_facet or shared_vertex

Returns: A distributed mesh topology

◆ entities_to_geometry()

std::vector< std::int32_t > entities_to_geometry	(	const Mesh &	mesh,
		int	dim,
		const std::span< const std::int32_t > &	entities,
		bool	orient
	)

Determine the indices in the geometry data for each vertex of the given mesh entities.

Warning: This function should be used unless there is no alternative. It may be removed in the future.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The mesh
[in]	dim	Topological dimension of the entities of interest
[in]	entities	Entity indices (local) to compute the vertex geometry indices for
[in]	orient	If true, in 3D, reorients facets to have consistent normal direction

Returns: Indices in the geometry array for the entity vertices. The shape is (num_entities, num_vertices_per_entity) and the storage is row-major. The index indices[i, j] is the position in the geometry array of the j-th vertex of the entity[i].

◆ entities_to_index()

std::vector< std::int32_t > entities_to_index	(	const Topology &	topology,
		int	dim,
		const graph::AdjacencyList< std::int32_t > &	entities
	)

Get entity indices for entities defined by their vertices.

Warning: This function may be removed in the future.

Parameters

[in]	topology	The mesh topology
[in]	dim	Topological dimension of the entities
[in]	entities	The mesh entities defined by their vertices

Returns: The index of the ith entity in entities

Note: If an entity cannot be found on this rank, -1 is returned as the index.

◆ exterior_facet_indices()

std::vector< std::int32_t > exterior_facet_indices ( const Topology & topology )

Compute the indices of all exterior facets that are owned by the caller.

An exterior facet (co-dimension 1) is one that is connected globally to only one cell of co-dimension 0).

Note: Collective

Parameters

[in] topology The mesh topology

Returns: Sorted list of owned facet indices that are exterior facets of the mesh.

◆ extract_topology()

graph::AdjacencyList< std::int64_t > extract_topology	(	const CellType &	cell_type,
		const fem::ElementDofLayout &	layout,
		const graph::AdjacencyList< std::int64_t > &	cells
	)

Extract topology from cell data, i.e. extract cell vertices.

Parameters

[in]	cell_type	The cell shape
[in]	layout	The layout of geometry 'degrees-of-freedom' on the reference cell
[in]	cells	List of 'nodes' for each cell using global indices. The layout must be consistent with `layout`.

Returns: Cell topology. The global indices will, in general, have 'gaps' due to mid-side and other higher-order nodes being removed from the input cell.

◆ h()

std::vector< double > h	(	const Mesh &	mesh,
		const std::span< const std::int32_t > &	entities,
		int	dim
	)

Compute greatest distance between any two vertices of the mesh entities (h).

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The mesh that the entities belong to.
[in]	entities	Indices (local to process) of entities to compute `h` for.
[in]	dim	Topological dimension of the entities.

Returns: The greatest distance between any two vertices, h[i] corresponds to the entity entities[i].

◆ is_simplex()

bool is_simplex ( CellType type )

Check if cell is a simplex.

Parameters

[in] type Cell type

Returns: True is the cell type is a simplex

◆ locate_entities()

std::vector< std::int32_t > locate_entities	(	const Mesh &	mesh,
		int	dim,
		const std::function< xt::xtensor< bool, 1 >(const xt::xtensor< double, 2 > &)> &	marker
	)

Compute indices of all mesh entities that evaluate to true for the provided geometric marking function. An entity is considered marked if the marker function evaluates true for all of its vertices.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The mesh
[in]	dim	The topological dimension of the entities to be considered
[in]	marker	The marking function

Returns: List of marked entity indices, including any ghost indices (indices local to the process)

◆ locate_entities_boundary()

std::vector< std::int32_t > locate_entities_boundary	(	const Mesh &	mesh,
		int	dim,
		const std::function< xt::xtensor< bool, 1 >(const xt::xtensor< double, 2 > &)> &	marker
	)

Compute indices of all mesh entities that are attached to an owned boundary facet and evaluate to true for the provided geometric marking function. An entity is considered marked if the marker function evaluates true for all of its vertices.

Note: For vertices and edges, in parallel this function will not necessarily mark all entities that are on the exterior boundary. For example, it is possible for a process to have a vertex that lies on the boundary without any of the attached facets being a boundary facet. When used to find degrees-of-freedom, e.g. using fem::locate_dofs_topological, the function that uses the data returned by this function must typically perform some parallel communication.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The mesh
[in]	dim	The topological dimension of the entities to be considered. Must be less than the topological dimension of the mesh.
[in]	marker	The marking function

Returns: List of marked entity indices (indices local to the process)

◆ num_cell_vertices()

int num_cell_vertices ( CellType type )

Number vertices for a cell type.

Parameters

[in] type Cell type

Returns: The number of cell vertices

◆ to_string()

std::string to_string ( CellType type )

Get the cell string type for a cell type.

Parameters

[in] type The cell type

Returns: The cell type string

◆ to_type()

mesh::CellType to_type ( const std::string & cell )

Get the cell type from a cell string.

Parameters

[in] cell Cell shape string

Returns: The cell type
