AnalysisModel is a container class. This class is responsible
for holding and providing access to the FE_Element and DOF_Group
objects that the ConstraintHandler creates. It is also responsible
for updating the response quantities at the DOF_Groups and for
triggering methods in the associated Domain. It provides operations
for the following:
- Population: methods so that the ConstraintHandler can add the
FE_Element and DOF_Group objects to the analysis model.
- Access: methods so that other classes in the analysis aggregation
can access the components of the AnalysisModel.
- Connectivity: methods such that the SysOfEqn can determine the
connectivity of the dof, which is needed for storage, sparsity, etc.
- Update: methods for updating the individual DOFs with the
response quantities given by the AnalysisMethod.
- Trigger: methods which trigger events in the domain.
Each subclass of AnalysisModel must have its own subclasses
of FE_ELEIter and DOF_GrpIter. NOTE at the moment FE_Element and
DOF_Group objects are not TaggedObjects and for this reason
TaggedObjectStorage classes cannot be used for storage. This may
change to allow efficient storage classes to be used.
