NAME¶

triangle - Triangle reference element

DESCRIPTION¶

The triangle reference element is

        K = { 0 < x < 1 and 0 < y < 1-x }

Curved high order Pk triangles (k >= 1), in 2d or 3d geometries, are supported. These triangles have additional edge-nodes and face-nodes.

THESE NODES ARE NUMBERED AS¶

first vertex, then edge-node, following the edge numbering order and orientation, and finally the face internal nodes, following the triangle lattice. See below for edge numbering and orientation.

IMPLEMENTATION¶

const size_t dimension = 2;
const Float  measure = 0.5;
const size_t n_vertex = 3;
const Float vertex [n_vertex][dimension] = {
        { 0, 0 },
        { 1, 0 },
        { 0, 1 } };
const size_t  n_edge = 3;
const size_t edge [n_edge][2] = {
        { 0, 1 },
        { 1, 2 },
        { 2, 0 } };
