abstract type AbstractFiniteElement

root type for finite element types

	name::String                          # full name of finite element space (used in messages)

end

A struct that has a finite element type as parameter and carries dofmaps (CellDofs, FaceDofs, BFaceDofs) plus additional grid information and access to arrays holding coefficients if needed.

function FESpace{FEType<:AbstractFiniteElement,AT<:AssemblyType}(
	xgrid::ExtendableGrid{Tv,Ti};
	name = "",
	broken::Bool = false)

Constructor for FESpace of the given FEType, AT = ONCELLS/ONFACES/ONEDGES generates a finite elements space on the cells/faces/edges of the provided xgrid (if omitted ONCELLS is used as default). The broken switch allows to generate a broken finite element space (that is piecewise H1/Hdiv/HCurl). If no name is provided it is generated automatically from FEType. If no AT is provided, the space is generated ON_CELLS.

eltype(
    _::FESpace{Tv, Ti, FEType<:AbstractFiniteElement, APT}
) -> Type{FEType} where FEType<:AbstractFiniteElement

Custom eltype function for FESpace returns the finite element type parameter of the finite element space.

get!(FES::FESpace, DM::Type{<:DofMap}) -> Any

To be called by getindex. This triggers lazy creation of non-existing dofmaps

Base.getindex(FES::FESpace,DM::Type{<:DofMap})

Generic method for obtaining dofmap. This method is mutating in the sense that non-existing dofmaps are created on demand. Due to the fact that components are stored as Any the return value triggers type instability.

setindex!(FES::FESpace, v, DM::Type{<:DofMap}) -> Any

Set new dofmap

show(
    io::IO,
    FES::FESpace{Tv, Ti, FEType<:AbstractFiniteElement, APT}
)

Custom show function for FESpace that prints some information and all available dofmaps.

assemblytype(
    _::FESpace{Tv, Ti, FEType<:AbstractFiniteElement, APT}
) -> Any

returns the assembly type parameter of the finite element space, i.e. on which entities of the grid the finite element is defined.

broken(FES::FESpace) -> Bool

returns true if the finite element space is broken, false if not

get_AT(_::FESpace{Tv, Ti, FEType, AT}) -> Any

returns the support of the finite element space

get_FEType(_::FESpace{Tv, Ti, FEType, AT}) -> Any

returns the finite element type of the finite element space

ndofs(FES::FESpace) -> Int64

returns the total number of degrees of freedom of the finite element space.

abstract type BEdgeDofs <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each boundary edge of the dofgrid

abstract type BEdgeDofsParent <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each boundary edge of the parentgrid

abstract type BFaceDofs <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each boundary face of the dofgrid

abstract type BFaceDofsParent <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each boundary face of the parentgrid

abstract type CellDofs <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each cell of the dofgrid

abstract type CellDofsParent <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each cell of the parentgrid

abstract type DofMap <: ExtendableGrids.AbstractGridAdjacency

Dofmaps are stored as an ExtendableGrids.AbstractGridAdjacency in the finite element space and collect information with respect to different AssemblyTypes. They are generated automatically on demand and the dofmaps associated to each subtype can be accessed via FESpace[DofMap].

abstract type EdgeDofs <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each edge of the dofgrid

abstract type EdgeDofsParent <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each edge of the parentgrid

abstract type FaceDofs <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each face of the dofgrid

abstract type FaceDofsParent <: DofMap

Key type describing the dofs for each face of the parentgrid
