Parallel Implementation Of Field Visualizations With High Order Tetrahedral Finite Elements

In the adaptive finite element method (AFEM), high order finite elements are usually used in the computations. In three dimensional simulations, post-processing poses considerable challenge since available data visualization software programs do not accommodate such a high order visualization—common...

description	In the adaptive finite element method (AFEM), high order finite elements are usually used in the computations. In three dimensional simulations, post-processing poses considerable challenge since available data visualization software programs do not accommodate such a high order visualization—common data visualizers can only visualize for up to ten-node tetrahedron elements. This work proposes and implements an efficient framework for data visualization with tetrahedron finite elements having hierarchical basis functions. A general method for post-processing of field data with high order tetrahedra is presented. The method builds upon an approach of the open source visualization software VTK where the data visualizer program ParaView is freely available. By using Red Partitioning of high order elements, the implemented algorithm successfully enables visualization of up to fourth order tetrahedra while using the same data structure for second order tetrahedra as available in ParaView. The results of the implementation clearly show the corresponding increase in accuracy of visualization when the polynomial orders were increased, i.e., the field contour lines are increasingly smoother.
