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:

template<std::floating_point T>
BoundingBoxTree<T> create_midpoint_tree(const mesh::Mesh<T> &mesh, int tdim, std::span<const std::int32_t> entities)

Create a bounding box tree for the midpoints of a subset of entities.

Parameters:

  • mesh – [in] The mesh

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

  • entities – [in] List of local entity indices

Returns:

template<std::floating_point T>
std::vector<std::int32_t> compute_collisions(const BoundingBoxTree<T> &tree0, const BoundingBoxTree<T> &tree1)

Compute all collisions between two bounding box trees.

Parameters:
Returns:

List of pairs of intersecting box indices from each tree, flattened as a vector of size num_intersections*2

template<std::floating_point T>
graph::AdjacencyList<std::int32_t> compute_collisions(const BoundingBoxTree<T> &tree, std::span<const T> points)

Compute collisions between points and leaf bounding boxes.

Bounding boxes can overlap, therefore points can collide with more than one box.

Parameters:

  • tree – [in] The bounding box tree

  • points – [in] The points (shape=(num_points, 3)). Storage is row-major.

Returns:

For each point, the bounding box leaves that collide with the point.

template<std::floating_point T>
std::int32_t compute_first_colliding_cell(const mesh::Mesh<T> &mesh, std::span<const std::int32_t> cells, std::array<T, 3> point, T tol)

Given a set of cells, find the first one that collides with a point.

A point can collide with more than one cell. The first cell detected to collide with the point is returned. If no collision is detected, -1 is returned.

Note

cells can for instance be found by using dolfinx::geometry::compute_collisions between a bounding box tree for the cells of the mesh and the point.

Parameters:

  • mesh – [in] The mesh

  • cells – [in] The candidate cells

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

  • tol – [in] Tolerance for accepting a collision (in the squared distance)

Returns:

The local cell index, -1 if not found

template<std::floating_point T>
std::vector<std::int32_t> compute_closest_entity(const BoundingBoxTree<T> &tree, const BoundingBoxTree<T> &midpoint_tree, const mesh::Mesh<T> &mesh, std::span<const T> points)

Compute closest mesh entity to a point.

Note

Returns a vector filled with 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)). Storage is row-major.

Returns:

For each point, the index of the closest mesh entity.

template<std::floating_point T>
graph::AdjacencyList<std::int32_t> compute_colliding_cells(const mesh::Mesh<T> &mesh, const graph::AdjacencyList<std::int32_t> &candidate_cells, std::span<const T> points)

Compute which cells collide with a point.

Note

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

Note

candidate_cells can for instance be found by using dolfinx::geometry::compute_collisions between a bounding box tree and the set of points.

Parameters:

  • mesh – [in] The mesh

  • candidate_cells – [in] List of candidate colliding cells for the ith point in points

  • points – [in] Points to check for collision (shape=(num_points, 3)). Storage is row-major.

Returns:

For each point, the cells that collide with the point.

template<std::floating_point T>
std::tuple<std::vector<std::int32_t>, std::vector<std::int32_t>, std::vector<T>, std::vector<std::int32_t>> determine_point_ownership(const mesh::Mesh<T> &mesh, std::span<const T> points, T padding)

Given a set of points, determine which process is colliding, using the GJK algorithm on cells to determine collisions.

Todo:

This docstring is unclear. Needs fixing.

Note

dest_owner is sorted

Note

Returns -1 if no colliding process is found

Note

dest_points is flattened row-major, shape (dest_owner.size(), 3)

Note

Only looks through cells owned by the process

Note

A large padding value can increase the runtime of the function by orders of magnitude, because for non-colliding cells one has to determine the closest cell among all processes with an intersecting bounding box, which is an expensive operation to perform.

Parameters:

  • mesh – [in] The mesh

  • points – [in] Points to check for collision (shape=(num_points, 3)). Storage is row-major.

  • padding – [in] Amount of absolute padding of bounding boxes of the mesh. Each bounding box of the mesh is padded with this amount, to increase the number of candidates, avoiding rounding errors in determining the owner of a point if the point is on the surface of a cell in the mesh.

Returns:

Tuple (src_owner, dest_owner, dest_points, dest_cells), where src_owner is a list of ranks corresponding to the input points. dest_owner is a list of ranks corresponding to dest_points, the points that this process owns. dest_cells contains the corresponding cell for each entry in dest_points.
