Detailed Description

Class provides access to the an interface node.

An interface node is a point on an interface that can interact with faces in vicinity.

Member Function Documentation

getContactTolerance()

virtual double zone::IIntNode::getContactTolerance ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the contact tolerance, a dimensionless measure of how close a face has to be register a contact. See setContactTolerance().

getNext() [1/2]

virtual const IIntNode * zone::IIntNode::getNext ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a const pointer the next interface node in the global interface node list, or 0 to indicate the end of the list.

See also

IInterface::getFirstINode()

getNext() [2/2]

virtual IIntNode * zone::IIntNode::getNext ( )

pure virtual

Returns a pointer the next interface node in the global interface node list, or 0 to indicate the end of the list.

See also

IInterface::getFirstINode()

getPenetration()

virtual double zone::IIntNode::getPenetration ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the interface node penetration with the contact face, valid only after cycling.
A value less or equal to zero is returned if there is no contact

setContactTolerance()

virtual void zone::IIntNode::setContactTolerance ( const double & d )

pure virtual

Sets the contact tolerance, a dimensionless measure of how close a face has to be register a contact. See getContactTolerance().

snapToHost()

virtual void zone::IIntNode::snapToHost ( )

pure virtual

Causes the position, velocity, and displacement of the node to immediately "snap" to it's host faces position, velocity, and displacement.
Useful if the host zone and gridpoint have been moved outside of the cycling logic.
