◆ collect_qhist()

const Vector< real > & belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::collect_qhist ( )

The beta-weighted dof history of the scheme running this step:

qhist = beta0*q0 - beta1*q1 + beta2*q2 - beta3*q3 + beta4*q4

truncated to the order actually running, where q0 is the previous step, q1 the one before it, and so on.

WHAT IT IS FOR. A BDF step evaluates the time derivative as ( alpha*q - qhist ) / 1, so the residual contracts the mass matrix against exactly that combination. Anything that differentiates the mass term must therefore differentiate against THIS vector, or the Jacobian silently stops being the tangent of the residual it is paired with. That is why this function exists rather than each producer assembling its own history: it is the single source of truth, used by the bdf2-5 right-hand sides and by every nonlinear-mass producer ( maxwell::phi_ferro_newton and the maxwell / thermal h-kernels ).

FOUR THINGS THAT ARE EASY TO GET WRONG:

The alternating SIGNS live here, not in mBeta. compute_bdf_ coeffs_* store beta as positive magnitudes; this function applies the +-+- pattern. Do not re-apply it at a call site.
alpha is NOT included. qhist is only the history half; the caller pairs it with alpha*q for the current state.
The order used is mOrderActive, not mOrder. During the startup ramp a BDF-p run executes at reduced order for its first steps, so the number of history terms — and the beta values, which also depend on the variable step sizes — change from step to step. At order <= 1 the result is exactly q0, with no beta applied.
The returned reference aliases the calculator's qswap() scratch buffer, which belongs to the CURRENTLY LINKED ELEMENT. It stays valid only until the next collect_qhist() call or the next element link. Read it, use it, do not store it: caching it across elements, or holding it across anything that may touch qswap(), reads another element's history.

Returns: reference to the calculator's qswap() buffer, filled with the history combination described above

◆ compute_bdf_coefficients()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::compute_bdf_coefficients ( )

compute BDF coefficients (alpha, beta) for variable-step BDF and select the scheme for the upcoming step (startup ramp).

Must be called AFTER delta_time is set to the upcoming step and AFTER shift_fields has been called. Called lazily from compute_jacobian_and_rhs when shift_fields/reset_fields have flagged the coefficients as dirty.

◆ compute_jacobian_and_rhs()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::compute_jacobian_and_rhs	(	Element *	aElement,
		Matrix< real > &	aJacobian,
		Vector< real > &	aRHS )

overridevirtual

Reimplemented from belfem::fem::IWG.

◆ compute_mkf()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::compute_mkf ( Element * aElement )

overrideprotectedvirtual

a default interface to compute the matrices of a timestepping scheme of shape of \( M \, \dot q + K \, q = f \)

The results are written into the TimestepMatrices object returned by matrices(): the mass matrix M, the stiffness matrix K, the load vector f, and — for Newton — the contracted derivative blocks dMdX_times_x, dMdX_times_h, dKdX_times_x and dFdX from which assemble_dJdx() builds the Newton correction.

Parameters

aElement element the matrices are computed for

Reimplemented from belfem::fem::IWG.

◆ compute_timestep()

◆ history_field_labels()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::history_field_labels	(	Cell< string > &	aParents,
		Cell< string > &	aHistory,
		const uint	aDepth = 0 ) const

the dof labels ( aParents ) and their numbered history labels ( aHistory, label + "0".."order-1" ) — the fields shift_fields() rotates.

Single source of the naming convention shared with create_old_dof_fields(); the controller's warm-restart field synch is the consumer ( these labels are deliberately NOT in all_fields )

◆ make_savepoint()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::make_savepoint ( )

save a deep copy of all dof fields, the step-size history and the step counter.

Call at the start of a timestep, BEFORE shift_fields. Unlike reset_fields ( which reverses exactly one shift ), restore_savepoint undoes any number of shifts — needed for the thermal equation, which sub-steps several times within one magnetic timestep.

◆ restore_history_state()

bool belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::restore_history_state	(	const Vector< real > &	aH,
		const uint	aStepCount,
		const real	aLastDeltaTime )

Counterpart of save_history_state.

Validates and restores; returns false — leaving the cold-start ramp untouched — when the data does not validate:

aH must match mH in length, all entries finite and >= 0
aStepCount == 0 is a reject ( it would silently ramp to BDF1 behind a full history )
aLastDeltaTime must be finite and > 0; it is HISTORY and is deliberately NOT clamped to the deck's Δt window
the slots a resumed step and its possible retry read must be positive: aH( 0 .. r-1 ) with r = min( aStepCount - 1, mOrder - 1, 4 ); note mH( 4 ) is the never-written spare slot and zero there is NORMAL On success mStepCount restores capped at mOrder ( the ramp saturates there ), mDeltaTime takes aLastDeltaTime, and the coefficients are marked dirty for the lazy recompute. mOrder and mMethod stay deck authority. mHDropped stays NAN: it is unreachable before the first shift refills it from mH( 3 ).

◆ restore_savepoint()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::restore_savepoint ( )

restore the state stored by make_savepoint

◆ save_history_state()

void belfem::fem::IWG_Timestep::save_history_state	(	Vector< real > &	aH,
		uint &	aStepCount,
		real &	aLastDeltaTime ) const

Export the multi-step integrator state for the memdump, so a warm restart can resume at full BDF order instead of re-anchoring the ramp at order 1 ( the restart cliff observed 2026-08-15: a BDF1 re-entry into an active state is a different tangent and detonated the Newton promotion ).

The triple is ( mH, mStepCount, mDeltaTime ) and the third member is load-bearing: at save time this object's mDeltaTime still holds the LAST COMPLETED step size h_n — the controller assigns the upcoming step only AFTER shift_fields — and the first post-restore shift pushes exactly this value into mH( 0 ). The controller's own ( already dumped ) delta_time is the NEXT step and must not be confused with it.
