Fields

The class is defined by the following fields:

Entity/Object	Variable	Description
integer		Version
integer		Space dimension
Transform		Transformation
integer	np	Number of points
double[np][d]	p	Matrix of point coordinates
double[np]	par	Vector of point parameters
Manifold	intcurve	Interpolating curve

Description

Mesh structures can also be used to define manifolds. Because meshes contain a number of nodes and, in the case of COMSOL Multiphysics, corresponding parameter values, a good geometric representation can be obtained using a suitable interpolation method for evaluating the values of the manifolds and its derivatives on parameter values that are inside the intervals between the given nodes. Mesh curves are handled by cubic spline interpolation.

The matrix p and the vector par corresponds to the structures corresponding structures in an edge mesh representation. For the MeshCurve, they serve as the interpolation data to obtain intcurve.
