Enum Constant Detail

HEX

public static final FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType HEX

3D hexahedra; 8 nodes each, giving a 27 node stencil in the grid interior.

TET

public static final FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType TET

3D tetrahedra, formed by a Kuhn subdivision of each grid cell into 6 tets; 4 nodes each, giving a 15 node interior stencil.

QUAD

public static final FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType QUAD

2D quadrilaterals; 4 nodes each, giving a 9 node interior stencil.

TRI

public static final FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType TRI

2D triangles, formed by splitting each grid cell along its lower left to upper right diagonal; 3 nodes each, giving a 7 node interior stencil.

Method Detail

values

public static FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType c : FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static FemMatrixGenerator.ElemType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Returns the spatial dimension (2 or 3) of this element type.

Returns:

element spatial dimension
