Public Member Functions
	Element (const index_type &part_index, const index_type &the_index, const Type_element_typePtr &the_type, const Type_NodePtrVector &the_nodes)
const Type_EdgePtrVector &	elementEdges () const
	returns the edges of the element
const Type_FacePtrVector &	elementFaces () const
	returns the faces of the element
const Type_NodePtrVector &	elementNodes () const
	returns the nodes of the element
const element::ET &	elementType () const
	returns the element type:
const std::string &	getIdent () const
	returns the ident of this point:
index_type &	getIndex ()
	sets the index of this element:
const index_type &	getIndex () const
	returns the element index:
const Type_LocalIndexVector &	getLocalElementAtNode () const
	a getter for local_element_at_node
void	init (const bool &checkOnSurface=false)
	This method initializes the element. Must be called after creation.
index_type &	part_index ()
	sets the index of this element:
const index_type &	part_index () const
	returns the part index:
TPhysicalElementPtr &	physical_element ()
const TPhysicalElementPtr &	physical_element () const
void	prepareDeletion ()
	This is called prior deleting the boost::shared_ptr of this object. It removes this element from asoociated nodes/edges/faces. It must be called before destrying the shared_ptr because all references belong to this shared_ptr!
void	prepareDeletionByCleaningTopologicalContainers ()
	prepares deletion of the element (special) It cleans all containers which collect topological neighbours, i.e. faces and edges, but without deleting their instances. When calling this method before the destructor, the destructor won't update the topological information of the neighbours
Type_element_typePtr2 &	setElementType ()
	a setter for the element type (careful!)
void	setIdent (std::string &s)
	sets the ident of this point:
Type_LocalIndexVector &	setLocalElementAtNode ()
	a setter for local_element_at_node
Protected Attributes
Type_EdgePtrVector	edges
	the edges being part of this element
Type_FacePtrVector	faces
	the faces being part of this element
std::string	ident
	a possible identifier string
index_type	index
	the element index (ident):
Type_LocalIndexVector	local_element_at_node
index_type	m_part_index
	the index of the associated Part:
TPhysicalElementPtr	m_physical_element
	a pointer (reference) to the physicalElement incarnation (is zero if not set)
Type_NodePtrVector	nodes
	the nodes of the element
Type_element_typePtr2	type
	the element type

Member Function Documentation

void sfem::mesh::Element::init

(

const bool &

checkOnSurface = false

)

This method initializes the element. Must be called after creation.

Parameters:

checkOnSurface

... if true, then it automatically updates all adjacent topological neighbours regarding on_surface_flag

Member Data Documentation

Type_LocalIndexVector sfem::mesh::Element::local_element_at_node [protected]

is the index of this element at the given node. For example, given local node 'i', the node is nodes[i]. nodes[i] contains a list of connected elements. local_element_at_node[i] is the index of this element within that list.
