Basic types
===========
Array<T>
--------
Data in ``Akantu`` can be stored in data containers implemented by the
:cpp:class:`akantu::Array` class. In its most basic usage, the :cpp:class:`Array
<akantu::Array>` class implemented in \akantu is similar to the ``std::vector``
class of the Standard Template Library (STL) for C++. A simple :cpp:class:`Array
<akantu::Array>` containing a sequence of ``nb_element`` values (of a given
type) can be generated with::
Array<type> example_array(nb_element);
where ``type`` usually is :cpp:type:`Real <akantu::Real>`, :cpp:type:`Int
<akantu::Int>`, :cpp:type:`UInt <akantu::UInt>` or ``bool``. Each value is
associated to an index, so that data can be accessed by typing::
auto & val = example_array(index);
``Arrays`` can also contain tuples of values for each index. In that case, the
number of components per tuple must be specified at the :cpp:class:`Array
<akantu::Array>` creation. For example, if we want to create an
:cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` to store the coordinates (sequences of three
values) of ten nodes, the appropriate code is the following::
UInt nb_nodes = 10;
Int spatial_dimension = 3;
Array<Real> position(nb_nodes, spatial_dimension);
In this case the :math:`x` position of the eighth node will be given
by ``position(7, 0)`` (in C++, numbering starts at 0 and not 1). If
the number of components for the sequences is not specified, the
default value of 1 is used. Here is a list of some basic operations
that can be performed on :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>`:
- :cpp:func:`resize(size) <akantu::ArrayDataLayer::resize>` change the size of
the :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>`.
- :cpp:func:`clear <akantu::Array::clear>` reset the size of the
:cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` to zero. (*warning* this changed in >
v4.0)
- :cpp:func:`set(t) <akantu::Array::set>` set all entries of the
:cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` to ``t``.
- :cpp:func:`copy(const Array & other) <akantu::Array::copy>` copy another
:cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` into the current one. The two
:cpp:class:`Arrays <akantu::Array>` should have the same number of
components.
- :cpp:func:`push_back(tuple) <akantu::Array::push_back>` append a tuple with
the correct number of components at the end of the :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>`.
- :cpp:func:`erase(i) <akantu::Array::erase>` erase the value at the i-th position.
- :cpp:func:`find(value) <akantu::Array::find>` search ``value`` in the
current :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>`. Return position index of the
first occurence or -1 if not found.
- :cpp:func:`storage() <akantu::Array::storage>` return the address of the
allocated memory of the :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>`.
Vector & Matrix
---------------
The :cpp:class:`Array\<T\> <akantu::Array>` iterators as presented in the previous
section can be shaped as :cpp:class:`Vector\<T\> <akantu::Vector>` or
:cpp:class:`Matrix\<T\> <akantu::Matrix>`. This objects represent 1st and 2nd order
tensors. As such they come with some functionalities that we will present a bit
more into detail here.

- :cpp:func:`A.eigs(d, V) <akantu::Matrix::eigs>` this method computes the
eigenvalues and eigenvectors of ``A`` and stores the results in ``d`` and
``V`` such that :math:`d(i) = \lambda_i` and :math:`V(i) = \vec{v_i}` with
:math:`\mat{A}\vec{v_i} = \lambda_i\vec{v_i}` and :math:`\lambda_1 > ... >
\lambda_i > ... > \lambda_N`
Array iterators
---------------
It is very common in ``Akantu`` to loop over arrays to perform a specific treatment.
This ranges from geometric calculation on nodal quantities to tensor algebra (in
constitutive laws for example). The :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` object
has the possibility to return iterators in order to make the writing of loops
easier and enhance readability. For instance, a loop over the nodal coordinates
can be performed like this::
// accessing the nodal coordinates Array
// with spatial_dimension components
const auto & nodes = mesh.getNodes();
for (const auto & coords : make_view(nodes, spatial_dimension)) {
// do what you need ....
}
In this example, each ``coords`` is a :cpp:class:`Vector\<Real\> <akantu::Vector>`
containing geometrical array of size ``spatial_dimension`` and the iteration is
conveniently performed by the :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` iterator.
The :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` object is intensively used to store
second order tensor values. In that case, it should be specified that the
returned object type is a matrix when constructing the iterator. This is done
when calling the :cpp:func:`make_view <akantu::make_view>`. For instance,
assuming that we have a :cpp:class:`Array <akantu::Array>` storing stresses, we
can loop over the stored tensors by::
for (const auto & stress :
make_view(stresses, spatial_dimension, spatial_dimension)) {
// stress is of type `const Matrix<Real>&`
}
In that last example, the :cpp:class:`Matrix\<Real\> <akantu::Matrix>` objects are
``spatial_dimension`` :math:`\times` ``spatial_dimension`` matrices. The light
objects :cpp:class:`Matrix\<T\> <akantu::Matrix>` and
:cpp:class:`Vector\<T\> <akantu::Vector>` can be used and combined to do most
common linear algebra. If the number of component is 1, it is possible to use
:cpp:func:`make_view <akantu::make_view>` to this effect.
In general, a mesh consists of several kinds of elements. Consequently, the
amount of data to be stored can differ for each element type. The
straightforward example is the connectivity array, namely the sequences of nodes
belonging to each element (linear triangular elements have fewer nodes than,
say, rectangular quadratic elements etc.). A particular data structure called
:cpp:class:`ElementTypeMapArray\<T\> <akantu::ElementTypeMapArray>` is provided
to easily manage this kind of data. It consists of a group of ``Arrays``, each
associated to an element type. The following code can retrieve the
:cpp:class:`ElementTypeMapArray\<UInt\> <akantu::ElementTypeMapArray>` which
stores the connectivity arrays for a mesh::
const ElementTypeMapArray<UInt> & connectivities =
mesh.getConnectivities();
Then, the specific array associated to a given element type can be obtained by::
const Array<UInt> & connectivity_triangle =
connectivities(_triangle_3);
where the first order 3-node triangular element was used in the presented piece
of code.

Mesh

Manipulating group of nodes and/or elements
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
``Akantu`` provides the possibility to manipulate subgroups of elements and
nodes. Any :cpp:class:`ElementGroup <akantu::ElementGroup>` and/or
:cpp:class:`NodeGroup <akantu::NodeGroup>` must be managed by a
:cpp:class:`GroupManager <akantu::GroupManager>`. Such a manager has the role to
associate group objects to names. This is a useful feature, in particular for
the application of the boundary conditions, as will be demonstrated in section
:ref:`sect-smm-boundary`. To most general group manager is the :cpp:class:`Mesh
<akantu::Mesh>` class which inherits from :cpp:class:`GroupManager
<akantu::GroupManager>`.
For instance, the following code shows how to request an element group
to a mesh:
.. code-block:: c++
// request creation of a group of nodes
NodeGroup & my_node_group = mesh.createNodeGroup("my_node_group");
// request creation of a group of elements
ElementGroup & my_element_group = mesh.createElementGroup("my_element_group");
/* fill and use the groups */
The ``NodeGroup`` object
````````````````````````
A group of nodes is stored in :cpp:class:`NodeGroup <akantu::NodeGroup>`
objects. They are quite simple objects which store the indexes of the selected
nodes in a :cpp:class:`Array\<UInt\> <akantu::Array>`. Nodes are selected by
adding them when calling :cpp:func:`add <akantu::NodeGroup::add>`. For instance
you can select nodes having a positive :math:`X` coordinate with the following
code:
.. code-block:: c++
const auto & nodes = mesh.getNodes();
auto & group = mesh.createNodeGroup("XpositiveNode");
for (auto && data : enumerate(make_view(nodes, spatial_dimension))){
auto node = std::get<0>(data);
const auto & position = std::get<1>(data);
if (position(0) > 0) group.add(node);
}
The ``ElementGroup`` object
```````````````````````````
A group of elements is stored in :cpp:class:`ElementGroup
<akantu::ElementGroup>` objects. Since a group can contain elements of various
types the :cpp:class:`ElementGroup <akantu::ElementGroup>` object stores indexes
in a :cpp:class:`ElementTypeMapArray\<UInt\> <akantu::ElementTypeMapArray>`
object. Then elements can be added to the group by calling :cpp:func:`add
<akantu::ElementGroup::add>`.
For instance, selecting the elements for which the barycenter of the
nodes has a positive :math:`X` coordinate can be made with:
.. code-block:: c++
auto & group = mesh.createElementGroup("XpositiveElement");
Vector<Real> barycenter(spatial_dimension);
for_each_element(mesh, [&](auto && element) {
mesh.getBarycenter(element, barycenter);
if (barycenter(_x) > 0.) { group.add(element); }
});
FEEngine
--------
The :cpp:class:`FEEngine<akantu::FEEngine>` interface is dedicated to handle the
finite-element approximations and the numerical integration of the weak form. As
we will see in Chapter :doc:`./solidmechanicsmodel`,
:cpp:class:`Model<akantu::Model>` creates its own
:cpp:class:`FEEngine<akantu::FEEngine>` object, hence the explicit creation of the
object is not required.
Mathematical Operations
'''''''''''''''''''''''
Using the :cpp:class:`FEEngine<akantu::FEEngine>` object, one can compute an interpolation,
an integration or a gradient. A simple example is given below:
.. code-block:: c++
// having a FEEngine object
auto fem = std::make_unique<FEEngineTemplate<IntegratorGauss, ShapeLagrange>>(my_mesh, dim, "my_fem");
// instead of this, a FEEngine object can be get using the model:
// model.getFEEngine()
// compute the gradient
Array<Real> u; // append the values you want
Array<Real> nablauq; // gradient array to be computed
// compute the gradient
fem->gradientOnIntegrationPoints(const Array<Real> & u, Array<Real> & nablauq,
const UInt nb_degree_of_freedom,
ElementType type);
// interpolate
Array<Real> uq; // interpolated array to be computed
// compute the interpolation
fem->interpolateOnIntegrationPoints(const Array<Real> & u, Array<Real> & uq,
UInt nb_degree_of_freedom,
ElementType type);
// interpolated function can be integrated over the elements
Array<Real> int_val_on_elem;
// integrate
fem->integrate(const Array<Real> & uq, Array<Real> & int_uq,
UInt nb_degree_of_freedom, ElementType type);
Another example below shows how to integrate stress and strain fields over
elements assigned to a particular material:
.. code-block:: c++
UInt sp_dim{3}; // spatial dimension
UInt m{1}; // material index of interest
const auto type{_tetrahedron_4}; // element type
// get the stress and strain arrays associated to the material index m
const auto & strain_vec = model.getMaterial(m).getGradU(type);
const auto & stress_vec = model.getMaterial(m).getStress(type);
// get the element filter for the material index
const auto & elem_filter = model.getMaterial(m).getElementFilter(type);
// initialize the integrated stress and strain arrays
Array<Real> int_strain_vec(elem_filter.getSize(), sp_dim * sp_dim,
"int_of_strain");
Array<Real> int_stress_vec(elem_filter.getSize(), sp_dim * sp_dim,
"int_of_stress");
// integrate the fields
model.getFEEngine().integrate(strain_vec, int_strain_vec, sp_dim * sp_dim, type,
_not_ghost, elem_filter);
model.getFEEngine().integrate(stress_vec, int_stress_vec, sp_dim * sp_dim, type,
_not_ghost, elem_filter);

Elements
''''''''
The base for every Finite-Elements computation is its mesh and the elements that
are used within that mesh. The element types that can be used depend on the
mesh, but also on the dimensionality of the problem (1D, 2D or 3D). In
``Akantu``, several iso-parametric Lagrangian element types are supported (and
one serendipity element). Each of these types is discussed in some detail below,
starting with the 1D-elements all the way to the 3D-elements. More detailed
information (shape function, location of Gaussian quadrature points, and so on)
can be found in Appendix app:elements.
Iso-parametric Elements

There are two types of iso-parametric elements defined in 1D. These element

schematically in :numref:`fig-elements-1D`. Some of the basic properties of

basic properties of these elements are listed in :numref:`tab-elements-2D`. It
is important to note that the first element is linear, the next two quadratic
and the last one cubic. Furthermore, the last element type (``_quadrangle_8``)
is not a Lagrangian but a serendipity element.

Bernoulli Beam Elements

These elements allow to compute the displacements and rotations of structures
constituted by Bernoulli beams. ``Akantu`` defines them for both 2D and 3D
problems respectively in the element types :cpp:enumerator:`_bernoulli_beam_2
