PetscFEGeomMode#

Describes the type of geometry being encoded.

Synopsis#

typedef enum {
  PETSC_FEGEOM_BASIC,
  PETSC_FEGEOM_EMBEDDED,
  PETSC_FEGEOM_BOUNDARY,
  PETSC_FEGEOM_COHESIVE
} PetscFEGeomMode;

Values#

PETSC_FEGEOM_BASIC - These are normal dim-cells, with dim == dE, and only bulk data is stored.
PETSC_FEGEOM_EMBEDDED - These are dim-cells embedded in a higher dimension, as an embedded manifold, where dim < dE and only bulk data is stored.
PETSC_FEGEOM_BOUNDARY - These are dim-cells on the boundary of a dE-mesh, so that dim < dE, and both bulk and s = 1 face data are stored.
PETSC_FEGEOM_COHESIVE - These are dim-cells in the interior of a dE-mesh, so that dim < dE, and both bulk and s = 2 face data are stored.

Note#

.vb dim - The topological dimension and reference coordinate dimension dE - The real coordinate dimension s - The number of supporting cells for a face .ve
