Detailed Description

Pure abstract class representing the deformation model of an Element.

The sub-classes of ElementModel implement the transform method, which converts a point (or a set of points) provided in local coordinates to the higher-level coordinate system. This transformation is constituted of a rigid component (translations and rotation) and possibly deformations.

The transform method makes use of a ParameterVector structure, which is a wrapper around the std::vector of model parameters, and holds in addition the cache-able part (the rigid component) of the transform represented by this model.

The precise definition of the ParameterVector parameters is specific to the concrete implementations of ElementModel

The ParameterVector is not saved in this class or its sub-classes, and must be provided externally (i.e. by the class Element) on the call to the method transform.
