Detailed Description

The Linear class is an algorithmic class which uses the linear solution algorithm to solve the equations. This is based on a Taylor expansion of the linear system about an approximate solution .

\begin{equation} \R(U) = \R(U_{a}) + \left[ {\frac{

tial \R}{\partial U} \vert}_{U_{a}}\right]
\left( U - U_{a} \right) \end{equation} which can be expressed as: \begin{equation} \ K_{a} \Delta U = \R(U_{a}) \end{equation} which is solved for to give the approximation . \

To start the iteration , i.e. the current trial response quantities are chosen as approximate solution quantities. \

Member Function Documentation

void Linear::Print ( ostream & s,
int flag = 0 ) [virtual]
 

Reimplemented from EquiSolnAlgo.

Definition at line 136 of file Linear.cpp.

int Linear::recvSelf ( int commitTag,
Channel & theChannel,
FEM_ObjectBroker & theBroker ) [virtual]
 

This is a pure virtual method, one must be written for each instantiable subclass of MovableObject. Each object has to receive the data needed to be able to recreate itself in the new process after it has been sent through {theChannel}. If the object is an aggregation containing other objects, new objects of the correct type can be constructed using {theBroker}. To return if successful or a if not.

Reimplemented from MovableObject.

int Linear::sendSelf ( int commitTag,
Channel & theChannel ) [virtual]
 

This is a pure virtual method, one must be written for each instantiable subclass of MovableObject. Each object has to send the data needed to be able to reproduce that object in a remote process. The object uses the methods provided by {theChannel} object to send the data to another channel at the remote actor, the address of the channel is set before this method is called. An object of similar type at the remote actor is invoked with a {receiveSelf()} to receive the data. Returns if successful (successful in that the data got to the channel), or a if no data was sent.

Reimplemented from MovableObject.
