DiscontinuousInterpolatingFunction[]
represents an approximate discontinuous function whose values are found by interpolation.
Details and OptionsGenerate a multi-material element mesh with element markers 10 and 20:
Visualize the mesh and the material regions in light green and light red.
Evaluate a discontinuous function on the mesh:
Plot the DiscontinuousInterpolatingFunction:
Compute a derivative of the DiscontinuousInterpolatingFunction:
Plot the derivative of the DiscontinuousInterpolatingFunction:
The value at the interface will depend on the priority of the mesh markers:
Inspect the value of the discontinuous function at , :
At the interface, the value associated with marker 10 will have precedence over the values associated with marker 20. The precedence at the interface can be changed by altering the marker priority.
Create a discontinuous interpolating function with an altered marker precedence:
Inspect the value of the discontinuous function at , :
Scope (4) "InterpolatingFunctions" (1) "MarkerPriority" (1)Extract the marker priority that is used to determine the order in which values at the material interface are processed:
"ValuesOnGrid" (1)Extract the values on the grid:
