From 5f2f9078b8140c49addcb05b84515ff0181dd69f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Knight <55677727+bknight1@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:41:15 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add dmfield_evaluate from PETSc DMFieldEvaluate computes the FE interpolant at each query point. For fields that are in the FE space (e.g., a quadratic velocity field on P2 elements), the gradient is exact to machine precision at any interior point. https://petsc.org/main/manualpages/DM/DMFieldEvaluate/ --- setup.py | 9 + .../discretisation/discretisation_mesh.py | 6 + src/underworld3/function/__init__.py | 6 + src/underworld3/function/_dmfield_wrapper.pyx | 200 +++++++++++++++ src/underworld3/function/dmfield_evaluate.py | 180 +++++++++++++ tests/test_0580_dmfield_evaluate.py | 239 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 640 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/underworld3/function/_dmfield_wrapper.pyx create mode 100644 src/underworld3/function/dmfield_evaluate.py create mode 100644 tests/test_0580_dmfield_evaluate.py diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py index a2827dcca..73e458c27 100644 --- a/setup.py +++ b/setup.py @@ -261,6 +261,15 @@ def configure(): extra_compile_args=extra_compile_args, **conf, ), + Extension( + "underworld3.function._dmfield_wrapper", + sources=[ + "src/underworld3/function/_dmfield_wrapper.pyx", + ], + extra_compile_args=extra_compile_args, + define_macros=[("NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API", "NPY_1_7_API_VERSION")], + **conf, + ), ] diff --git a/src/underworld3/discretisation/discretisation_mesh.py b/src/underworld3/discretisation/discretisation_mesh.py index c5cf555a7..5a01d3c39 100644 --- a/src/underworld3/discretisation/discretisation_mesh.py +++ b/src/underworld3/discretisation/discretisation_mesh.py @@ -2706,6 +2706,12 @@ def nuke_coords_and_rebuild( if self.dm is not self.dm_hierarchy[-1]: self.dm.copyDS(self.dm_hierarchy[-1]) + # Cell volumes via PETSc's FVM geometry (one call per cell). + cStart, cEnd = self.dm.getHeightStratum(0) + self._cell_volumes = numpy.abs(numpy.array( + [self.dm.computeCellGeometryFVM(c)[0] + for c in range(cStart, cEnd)])) + # Invalidate projected boundary normals (rebuilt lazily on access) self._projected_normals = None # Per-boundary deformation-tracking normals are stale now too.
