Detailed Description

Description of elements and spaces.

Elements

A space in Concepts consists of elements. Usually, these are built on the cells of a mesh. All elements contain the information on the assembling of their local element matrices and vectors in the T matrices (see concepts::TMatrixBase).

The base class for the elements is concepts::Element.

Space

A space is a collection of elements with a scanner which makes it possible to loop over the elements. When constructing the space, it creates the elements (including the computation of the T matrices).

All spaces are derived from concepts::Space.
