Detailed Description

To describe a 3-Node quadratic planar line finite element.

Defines geometric quantities associated to 3-node quadratic element P2 in the space. The reference element is the segment [-1,1]. The user must take care to the fact that determinant of jacobian and other quantities depend on the point in the reference element where they are calculated. For this, before any utilization of shape functions or jacobian, function setLocal() must be invoked.
Element nodes are ordered as the following: the left one, the central one and the right one.

◆ DSh()

LocalVect<Point<real_t>,3> DSh ( ) const

Return partial derivatives of shape functions of element nodes.

Returns
LocalVect instance of partial derivatives of shape functions e.g. dsh(i).x, dsh(i).y, are partial derivatives of the i-th shape function.
Note
The local point at which the derivatives are computed must be chosen before by using the member function setLocal
