Detailed Description

Representation of a parametrized surface.

This class is intended as a simple mesh generator for boundary element applications. A surface is described by a (hopefully small) set of triangles associated with parametrizations.

The topology is described by vertices, edges, and triangles. The parametrization callback phi uses these parameters to describe the geometry.

The function build_from_macrosurface3d_surface3d can then be used to create a standard surface3d mesh.

Field Documentation

void(* phi) (uint i, real xr1, real xr2, void *phidata, real xt[3])

Parametrization callback.

Given a triangle index i and coordinates xr1 and xr2 in the reference triangle , this function returns the point in the parametrized triangle in the array xt.

Usually, the callback function will use the geometric information in x, e, t, and s to accomplish its task. Additional information can be provided via the pointer phidata.

It is up to the user to ensure that the vertices and edges of a refined triangulation produced by evaluating in the vertices and along the edges of the macro triangulation in adjacent triangles match.

uint(* s)[3]

Triangle edges.

Edge s[i][j] lies opposite of vertex t[i][j].

uint(* t)[3]

Triangle vertices.

The vertices are ordered counter-clockwise as seen from outside of the geometry, i.e., taking the cross product of x[t[i][1]]-x[t[i][0]] and x[t[i][2]]-x[t[i][0]] is supposed to yield an outer normal vector of the (unparametrized) triangle.
