Data allocation#

Most of GooseFEM’s functions provided an interface to:

  1. Allocate output arrays: names start with a upper-case letter. For example:

    ue = GooseFEM::Vector::AsElement(disp);
    
  2. Directly write to output arrays, without allocation them and copying them, by taking a pointer the externally allocated array as the last input argument(s): names start with a lower-case letter. For example:

    GooseFEM::Vector::asElement(disp, ue);
    

Note

The Python API only provides option 1. Option 2 is only available in the C++ API.
