The DomainComponent class is an abstract class, example subclasses include Element, Node, SP_Constraint, MP_Constraint, NodalLoad, ElementalLoad. Each object of these types is a component of an enclosing Domain object. The DomainComponent class provides methods to set and retrieve a pointer to the enclosing Domain object.

// Constructor

// Destructor

// Public Methods

Constructs a DomainComponent with a tag given by tag, whose class tag is given by classTag. The tag of a component is some unique means of identifying the component among like components, i.e. the tag of a node would be its unique node number. The classTag is a means of identifying the class of the object. No domain is associated with the object. The integer tag is passed to the TaggedObject constructor and the integer classTag is passed to the MovableObject constructor.

Does nothing. Provided so subclasses destructor’s will always be called.

Sets the encompassing domain of the component to that given by theDomain. This method is invoked by theDomain when the component is being added to the domain, in an addDomain.. invocation (see interface for Domain).

Returns a pointer to the Domain to which the component was added, or \(0\) if the setDomain() command was never called on the object.

To cause the object to display itself using theRenderer. The integer displayMode is used to indicate what is to be displayed and the float fact is used to factor the nodal displacements. To return \(0\) if successful, a negative number if not. This base class simply returns \(0\). Its up to the subclasses to override this method if the objects are to be rendered.
