Return to Refactoring itk::FEM_framework - V4

We are proposing to develop a new ITK object (itk::FEMObject) that will hold the finite element model and will have a parallel spatial object (itk::FEMSpatialObject). This will match the current implementation for itk::Mesh and itk::MeshSpatialObject.

Proposed I/O Support

Use Spatial Object Framework for supporting input/output. Use original FEM I/O format to encode the actual model information. We will used the format previously provided by the Read() and Write() methods in each class deriving from itk::fem::FEMLightObject. This functionality will be moved to the MetaIO. Here is an outline of these changes.

  1. Create Utilities/MetaIO/metaFEM.cxx and Utilities/MetaIO/metaFEM.h - Take functionality from the classes that derive from FEMLightObject. Add support for binary point data.
  2. Create SpatialObject/itkMetaFEMConverter.h and SpatialObject/itkMetaFEMConverter.txx
  3. Update to SpatialObject/itkMetaSceneConverter.txx
    1. Include itkMetaFEMConverter.h
    2. Include itkFEMSpatialObject.h
    3. In CreateSpatialObjectScene() - add type comparison between lines 155 and 294
    4. In CreateMetaScene() - add type comparison between lines 344 and 584


itk::MetaFEMConverter

<source lang="cpp"> template <unsigned int NDimensions> class ITK_EXPORT MetaFEMConverter {

public:

 MetaFEMConverter();
 ~MetaFEMConverter() {};
 typedef itk::FEMObject<NDimensions>             FEMObjectType;
 typedef itk::FEMSpatialObject<MeshType>         SpatialObjectType;
 typedef typename SpatialObjectType::TransformType TransformType;
 typedef typename SpatialObjectType::Pointer SpatialObjectPointer;
 SpatialObjectPointer ReadMeta(const char* name);
 bool WriteMeta(SpatialObjectType* spatialObject,const char* name);
 SpatialObjectPointer MetaFEMToFEMSpatialObject(MetaFEM * FEM);
 MetaFEM* FEMSpatialObjectToMetaFEM(SpatialObjectType * spatialObject);

};

MetaFEM

Similar to metaMesh but with additions for the FEM specific information.
