Class Integrator.NVvector

java.lang.Object
  integrators.Integrator.NVvector

Enclosing class:

Integrator

public class Integrator.NVvector

extends java.lang.Object

This utility class may be more convenient for some purposes than an array of NodeValues objects would be.

Method Summary

float[]	collapse() collapse() returns an array of floats without the unused spaces associated with unsided Nodes; the purpose of this is to facilitate the use of canned matrix operation routines (should we need to), which won't know anything about sided-ness and so on.
NodeValues[]	convertToNodeValues(Integrator.NVvector vec) Use this if you want a copy of this vector in the form of an array of NodeValues objects.
void	convertToNVvector(NodeValues[] nv) Use this to copy an array of NodeValues objects into a pre-made NVvector.
float[]	getCopyOfVector() Use this if you want a freshly-made copy of the values vector in the form of an array of floats
void	getCopyOfVector(float[] cp) Use this one if you want the values vector copied into a pre-allocated array of floats
float[]	getValueVector() Use this one if you just want a handle to the values vector

Method Detail

collapse

public float[] collapse()

collapse() returns an array of floats without the unused spaces associated with unsided Nodes; the purpose of this is to facilitate the use of canned matrix operation routines (should we need to), which won't know anything about sided-ness and so on.

convertToNVvector

public void convertToNVvector(NodeValues[] nv)
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Use this to copy an array of NodeValues objects into a pre-made NVvector.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

convertToNodeValues

public NodeValues[] convertToNodeValues(Integrator.NVvector vec)

Use this if you want a copy of this vector in the form of an array of NodeValues objects.

getCopyOfVector

public float[] getCopyOfVector()

Use this if you want a freshly-made copy of the values vector in the form of an array of floats

getCopyOfVector

public void getCopyOfVector(float[] cp)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

Use this one if you want the values vector copied into a pre-allocated array of floats

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getValueVector

public float[] getValueVector()

Use this one if you just want a handle to the values vector
