Return type:

Self

evaluate(dm, x, v=None)

Calculate interpolated field values at the interpolation points.

Collective.

getCoordinates()

Return the coordinates of each interpolation point.

Collective.

The local vector entries correspond to interpolation points lying on this process, according to the associated DM.

Return type:

int

getVector()

Return a Vec which can hold all the interpolated field values.

Collective.

This vector should be returned using restoreVector.

Vec

restoreVector(vec)

Restore a Vec which can hold all the interpolated field values.

Collective.

Parameters:

vec (Vec) – A vector capable of holding the interpolated field values.

Return type:

None

setDim(dim)

Set the spatial dimension for the interpolation context.

Not collective.

Parameters:

dim (int) – The spatial dimension.

Return type:

None

Not collective.

Parameters:

dof (int) – The number of fields.

Return type:

None

setUp(dm, redundantPoints=False, ignoreOutsideDomain=False)

Compute spatial indices for point location during interpolation.

Collective.

Parameters:

• dm (DM) – The DM for the function space used for interpolation.

• redundantPoints (bool) – If True, all processes are passing in the same array of points. Otherwise, points need to be communicated among processes.

• ignoreOutsideDomain (bool) – Ignore points outside of the domain if True; otherwise, return an error.

Return type:

None
