  • New: Added support for curved interior boundaries, and general ++ manifold id description. ++
    ++ A new flag was added to each triangulation obejct ++ (types::manifold_id) which allows one to specify a manifold ++ description, much in the same way we do for boundaries, also for ++ interior edges and faces. At the moment this information is used ++ only for objects of topological dimension less than spacedim, but a ++ generalization of the class Boundary is on its way to ++ allow also curved cells. ++
    ++ For the moment, full backward compatibility is granted, and one can ++ keep using the old Boundary, together with ++ Triangulation::set_boundary(), and Triangulation::get_boundary() ++ methods. However, this change suggests to use the types::boundary_id associated ++ with each boundary face to indicate only boundary condition types, and ++ it allows to separate the geometrical meaning from the physical meaning. The ++ suggested usage is types::boundary_id -> physical meaning, types::manifold_id ++ -> geometrical meaning. ++
