FEM3D_SAMPLE
Evaluate a Finite Element Function of a 3D Argument
FEM3D_SAMPLE
is a C++ program which
can evaluate a finite element function of a 3D argument.
The current version of the program can only handle tetrahedral finite element
meshes using linear basis functions.
The current version of the program uses a NAIVE search algorithm to locate
points within the mesh. It is intended that this search algorithm be replaced
by a Delaunay search.
Usage:
fem3d_sample fem_prefix sample_prefix
where fem_prefix is the common prefix for the FEM files:
-
fem_prefix_nodes.txt, the node coordinates.
-
fem_prefix_elements.txt, the nodes that make up each element;
-
fem_prefix_values.txt, the values defined at each node.
and sample_prefix is the common prefix for the SAMPLE files,
for which the node file is input, and the values file is created by the program:
-
sample_prefix_nodes.txt, the node coordinates where samples are desired.
-
sample_prefix_values.txt, the values computed at each sample node.

Examples and Tests:
SQ is FEM data for the function f(x,y,z)=x^2+2*y^2-z^2, on a 5x5x5 grid
of nodes in the cube [0,4]x[0,4]x[0,4], organized into linear linear tetrahedrons.
The sample data seeks the values of this function on a 4x4x4
evenly spaced grid.
