Results ========= In the 2 tables below, the maximum relative error associated with the double projection was noted for the various scenarios: straight or curved edges, types of cells, linear or quadratic field,... When the projection error is less than 1.e-9, the box is colored yellow. The projection is then considered to be "perfect". Notes: The combination "curved edges + mesh size LIN" doesn't exist! Degree QUAD + doesn't exist for TETRA/PYRAM Projecting a mesh onto another (different) mesh ---------------------------------------------------------- +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |flanks|Degree of mesh|Field degree|TRIA/QUAD|HEXA/PENTA|TETRA/PYRAM| +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |rights|lin |1 |6.6E-12 |4.9E-12 |2.2E-16 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |6.3E-03 |4.2E-03 |0.046 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.0E-03 |1.3E-03 |0.012 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |quad |1 |2.6E-11 |2.0E-11 |5.2E-16 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |4.3E-04 |2.8E-04 |5.5E-16 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |1.1E-04 |7.7E-05 |1.5E-04 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |Quad + |1 |3.0E-11 |2.2E-11 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |1.1E-10 |6.5E-11 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.5E-06 |4.9E-06 | | +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |curves|quad |1 |2.3E-03 |1.7E-03 |0.023 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |0.012 |6.5E-03 |0.048 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.9E-03 |1.9E-03 |0.033 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |Quad + |1 |2.3E-03 |1.7E-03 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |0.012 |6.5E-03 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.9E-03 |1.9E-03 | | +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ Projection of a mesh onto itself ------------------------------------- +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |flanks|Degree of mesh|Field degree|TRIA/QUAD|HEXA/PENTA|TETRA/PYRAM| +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |rights|lin |1 |0.0E+00 |4.6E-16 |0.0E+00 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |0.0E+00 |3.3E-16 |0.0E+00 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |0.0E+00 |3.9E-16 |0.0E+00 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |quad |1 |3.4E-16 |9.2E-16 |7.8E-16 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |4.0E-16 |1.0E-15 |1.1E-15 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |3.8E-16 |8.0E-16 |7.8E-16 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |Quad + |1 |8.1E-16 |8.8E-16 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |8.8E-16 |1.2E-15 | | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |8.4E-16 |8.9E-16 | | +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ |curves|quad |1 |1.2E-10 |9.6E-11 |1.1E-10 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |7.1E-10 |3.0E-10 |2.7E-10 | + + +------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.5E-10 |1.8E-10 |2.6E-10 | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | |Quad + |1 |1.3E-10 |9.6E-11 | | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2 |5.2E-10 |3.0E-10 | | + +--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+ | | |2+ |2.5E-10 |1.8E-10 | | +------+--------------+------------+---------+----------+-----------+
