Element utilities #15

Open termi-official opened 3 years ago

termi-official commented 3 years ago

Debug utilities for element formulations can be helpful. For this we should have visualization helpers for

[x] Reference vertex numbering in 1d, 2d, 3d for all reference shapes
[x] Reference face numbering in 2d and 3d for all reference shapes
[x] Reference edge numbering in 3d for all reference shapes
[ ] Visualization of individual basis functions for arbitrary interpolations (on suitable reference shapes)
[ ] Utils for orientations
[ ] Visualization of normals

Ping @koehlerson - probably we should discuss the scope of FerriteVis.jl before attacking this.

Should we include such "fancy" utility functions in this package?
Or, should we provide examples/wiki/... on how to do this on Lagrange elements?
Or, should we just provide this as docs in Ferrite.jl directly?
Or, ... ?

Currently, I am somewhat leaning to 3, because this feels like docs. However, it also feels helpful to have it available from command line, for example when developing new element formulations.

I think we can achieve something like this rather easily, but I don't know how useful it is in the end. It would take probably a day to get something working but in the end it would be just plots quite similar to https://www-users.cse.umn.edu/~arnold/femtable/
