Quadrature

This module contains quadrature (numeric integration) schemes for different finite element formulations. The integration points of a boundary-quadrature are located on the first edge for 2d elements and on the first face for 3d elements.

Detailed API Reference

class felupe.quadrature.Scheme(points, weights)

Bases: object

A quadrature scheme with integration points \(x_q\) and weights \(w_q\). It approximates the integral of a function over a region \(V\) by a weighted sum of function values \(f_q = f(x_q)\), evaluated on the quadrature-points.

Notes

The approximation is given by

\[\int_V f(x) dV \approx \sum f(x_q) w_q\]

with quadrature points \(x_q\) and corresponding weights \(w_q\).

plot(plotter=None, point_size=20, weighted=False, **kwargs)

Plot the quadrature points, scaled by their weights, into a (optionally provided) PyVista plotter.

screenshot(*args, filename=None, transparent_background=None, scale=None, **kwargs)

Take a screenshot of the quadrature.

class felupe.GaussLegendre(order: int, dim: int, permute: bool = True)

Bases: Scheme

An arbitrary-order Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule of dimension 1, 2 or 3 on the interval \([-1, 1]\).

Parameters:

• order (int) – The number of sample points \(n\) minus one. The quadrature rule integrates degree \(2n-1\) polynomials exactly.

• dim (int) – The dimension of the quadrature region.

• permute (bool, optional) – Permute the quadrature points according to the cell point orderings (default is True). This is supported for two and three dimensions as well as first and second order schemes. Otherwise this flag is silently ignored.

Notes

The approximation is given by

\[\int_{-1}^1 f(x) dx \approx \sum f(x_q) w_q\]

with quadrature points \(x_q\) and corresponding weights \(w_q\).

>>>
>>> element = fem.Line()

...     plotter=element.plot(add_point_labels=False, show_points=False),

...     plotter=element.plot(add_point_labels=False, show_points=False),
...     weighted=True,
... ).show()

class felupe.GaussLegendreBoundary(order: int, dim: int, permute: bool = True)

Bases: GaussLegendre

An arbitrary-order Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule of dim 1, 2 or 3 on the interval [-1, 1].
