Sumedh, I want to use the *create_mass_matrix* and *create_laplace_matrix* > functionality of MatrixCreator namespace. The function prototype here > requires to pass a pointer (which is by default 0 meaning that there is no > variable coefficient associated with variable or laplace of variable) to a > function object. I want to build the mass/laplace matrices taking in > account the constraints so I pass the ConstraintMatrix argument as the last > argument of the function. Code snippet: > > MatrixCreator::create_mass_matrix(dof_handler, > QGauss<dim>(fe.degree+1), mass_matrix, ________, constraints); > > Here dof_hadler, mass_matrix and constraints are appropriate objects as > the name suggests. I don't have the variable coefficient/s so I need to > know what to pass in the blank space which requires a pointer argument as > mentioned above? > You already gave the answer yourself: The documentation <http://www.dealii.org/8.4.1/doxygen/deal.II/namespaceMatrixCreator.html#aa95a194001f23f96327fb7a630c6b036> tells you that MatrixCreator::create_mass_matrix is declared as
template<int dim, typename number , int spacedim> void MatrixCreator::create_mass_matrix (const Mapping< dim, spacedim > & mapping, const DoFHandler< dim, spacedim > & dof, const Quadrature< dim > & q, SparseMatrix< number > & matrix, const Function< spacedim > *const a = 0, const ConstraintMatrix & constraints = ConstraintMatrix()) In particular, using a null pointer (0, NULL or nullptr) for the 'Function' pointer 'a' gives you a constant coefficient equal to one.
