elements.base Module¶
Provides the base class for all finite element classes.

class
pysofe.elements.base.Element(dimension, order, n_basis, n_verts)[source]¶ Provides an abstract base class for all reference elements.
Derived classes have to implement the methods
_eval_d0_basis(points)()_eval_d1_basis(points)()_eval_d2_basis(points)()
that evaluate the basis functions or their derivatives.
Parameters: - dimension (int) – The spatial dimension of the element
- order (int) – The polynomial order of the basis functions
- n_basis (iterable) – The number of basis functions related to the entities of every topological dimension
- n_verts (iterable) – The number of vertices for the entities of each topological dimension
-
dimension¶ The spatial dimension of the element.
-
order¶ The polynomial order of the element’s basis functions.
-
n_basis¶ The number of basis functions associated with the entities of each spatial (sub-) dimenson.
-
n_verts¶ The number of vertices of the element’s (sub-) entities of each spatial dimension.
-
dof_tuple¶ The number of degrees of freedom associated to the entities of every spatial dimension.
