Detailed Description

Inherited objects from this class can be provided by the user provide assessment of whether or not an element is influenced by a give parameter.

If provided, the sensitivity assembly funcitons will use this to avoid computing sensitivity on elements where the parameter has no influence. For some cases in direct sensitivity a user may want to avoid computing this data even if a solution sensitivity vector is provided when this solution is known to be zero on the element. In this case, the override flag can be set to true.

Member Data Documentation

bool MAST::AssemblyBase::ElemParameterDependence::override_flag

if true, assume zero solution sensitivity when elem does not dependent on parameter.

This can be useful for spatial association of parameter, for example, in topology optimization.
