VTKFile Class Reference

Output of meshes and functions in VTK/ParaView format. Isoparametric meshes of arbitrary degree are supported. For finite element functions, cell-based (DG0) and Lagrange (point-based) functions can be saved. For vertex-based functions the output must be isoparametic, i.e. the geometry and the finite element functions must be defined using the same basis. More...

Detailed Description

Output of meshes and functions in VTK/ParaView format. Isoparametric meshes of arbitrary degree are supported. For finite element functions, cell-based (DG0) and Lagrange (point-based) functions can be saved. For vertex-based functions the output must be isoparametic, i.e. the geometry and the finite element functions must be defined using the same basis.

Member Function Documentation

write() [1/2]

void write	(	const mesh::Mesh &	mesh,
		double	time = 0.0
	)

Write a mesh to file. Supports arbitrary order Lagrange isoparametric cells.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The Mesh to write to file
[in]	time	Time parameter to associate with mesh

write() [2/2]

void write ( const std::vector< std::reference_wrapper< const fem::Function< T >>> &  u, double  t  )

inline

Write finite elements function with an associated timestep.

Parameters

[in]	u	List of functions to write to file
[in]	t	Time parameter to associate with u

Precondition

All Functions in u must share the same mesh

All Functions in u with point-wise data must use the same element type (up to the block size) and the element must be (discontinuous) Lagrange

Functions in u cannot be sub-Functions. Interpolate sub-Functions before output
