APPENDIX 5 : DATA DICTIONARY FOR GEOMETRY CLASSES IN SMARTFIREGROUP CLASSThe group class objects maintain a list of cell indices that constitute a special grouping that shouldhave different solution techniques applied. The range of different conditions that can be applied islimited at present however these can still be useful in situations where the prevailing conditionswithin a group are radically different from another group.class Group_Class {public://==> The global number of this group.Int_Type group_number;//==> The total number of cells in this group.Int_Type num_cells_in_group;//==> An array of indices of all of the cells in this group.Int_Type * group_cell;// Methods//==> Constructor needs to know the number of this group and the number of cells initially i nthe group.Group_Class( Int_Type, Int_Type );//==> The destructor.~Group_Class( void );//==> An internal function used to garbage collect in a modified group.void compact_list( void );//==> An internal function used to add more storage to a group.void extend_storage( Int_Type );//==> An internal garbage collection routine.void contract_storage( Int_Type );//==> A function to search for a global cell index and report its presence in this group.Logical find_index( Int_Type, Int_Type& );//==> Internal function adds the cell index to this group.void add_cell( Int_Type );Appendix 11.5 Page 145-20 20
