Table of Contents

This appendix lists changes to the program that are relevant for people writing OOF2 extensions.

Subproblem. The CSubProblem class has been added. It takes over many roles that used to be filled by FEMesh. Like FEMesh, users should not need to use any internal methods or data in the CSubProblem class. Many former FEMesh function arguments are now CSubProblem arguments.
Field.
- The FEMesh arguments to is_defined and is_active have changed to CSubProblem.
- The operator(), value methods for extracting values at nodes no longer take an FEMesh argument.
- The argument to CompoundField::in_plane can be either a FEMesh or a CSubProblem.
Flux. The matrix_element and offset_element methods in the FluxData class no longer take an FEMesh* argument. Their Python counterparts, add_matrix_element and add_offset_element no longer take a mesh argument either.
Property.
- The Property member functions begin_element and end_element now take an additional CSubProblem pointer argument.
- The first argument to the Property member functions post_process, integration_order, and is_symmetric is now a pointer to a CSubProblem instead of an FEMesh.
Element. The outputField and outputFieldDeriv methods in the Element class no longer take an FEMesh* argument.
ElementNodeIterator, etc. The node() and funcnode() functions in the ElementNodeIterator classes now return a pointer to a non-const Node or FuncNode pointer.
