Class PgMacroPatch

java.lang.Object

jv.object.PsObject

jvx.loader.PgMacroPatch

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, PsUpdateIf

public class PgMacroPatch
extends PsObject

Macro patch obtained from reading a build file '*.bd' through PgBdLoader. Container class describes a macro patch, an application is responsible to generate a geometry, like a triangulation, out of a macro patch.

Each macro patch may be bounded by simple straight lines or be a curve with sophisticated boundary constraints to be used in calculus of variations. See description of the file format '*.bd' for more details.

Constructor Detail

PgMacroPatch

public PgMacroPatch(int aDim)

Constructs a macro patch with given dimension of ambient space.

Method Detail

init

Description copied from class: PsObject

If instance has missing name then assign default name 'Object_NUMBER' where number is the total number of already created instances.

Overrides:

init in class PsObject

getDimVertices

public int getDimVertices()

Get dimension of vertices.

getNumVertices

public int getNumVertices()

Get dimension of macro vertices.

setNumVertices

public void setNumVertices(int aNum)

Set dimension of macro vertices.

getBndType

public int getBndType()

setBndType

public void setBndType(int aNum)

getOrientation

public int getOrientation()

setOrientation

makePolygon

public PgPolygon makePolygon(PgPolygon aPolygon,
                             int anInd)

Compute the vertices of the boundary polygon with index anInd. Use information in PgMacroPatch available from *.bd files.

makeBndConstraint

public PgBndConstraint makeBndConstraint(PgBndConstraint aBndConstraint,
                                         int anInd)

Parameters:

aBndConstraint - constraint which is made, created if argument is null

anInd - index of edge in current macro patch

buildElementSet

public PgElementSet buildElementSet(PgElementSet geom)

Build an element set from the information of this macro patch. Surface boundary is created with constraints.

If container element set is null, then a new element set is created.

Parameters:

geom - initialized element set, created if argument is null.
