Description
Drawing function to draw a ChFieldElementTetrahedron_4 finite element.
Allows a 3D visualization of the finite element in real time rendering, raytraced postprocessing, etc.

◆ IncrementBufferSizes()
|
inlinevirtual |
This method takes a ChFieldElement and increments the counters of total used number of triangle vertexes, number of triangles, number of normals, used in a triangle mesh that shows the shape of the finite element.
This function is called on all finite elements, to get the total amount of vertexes, triangles etc. in a ChTriangleMeshConnected that will be used to show finite elements on the screen.
Implements chrono::fea::ChDrawer.
◆ UpdateBuffers()
|
inlinevirtual |
This method takes a ChFieldElement and, given a ChTriangleMeshConnected& mmesh, does this: 1) per each triangle from tri_offset sets the indexes in mmesh.GetIndicesVertexes() to 3 triangle vertexes; 2) per each triangle from tri_offset sets the indexes in mmesh.GetIndicesNormals() to 3 triangle normals; 3) per each normal from norm_offset sets its value in mmesh.GetCoordsNormals() (can be automated via ChDrawer::AutoComputeNormals()); Assumes there is no need to update the position of vertexes in mmesh.GetCoordsVertices() because already update by the caller, that sets the first N triangle vertices as the N finite element nodes - and same for N colors in mmesh.GetCoordsColors(), and N scalars/vectors/etc in myproperty.data of all properties in mmesh.GetPropertiesPerVertex().
However, if one has more triangle vertexes than N element nodes, there could be an additional task: 4) (optional) per each vertex beyond the N element nodes, interpolate position/color/properties by looking at values already updated in the position/color/properties of the first N vertexes of the mmesh, starting from vert_offset.
