New: Several classes have been added to the NonMatching namespace for using cut
finite element methods (CutFEM):
<ul>
<li>
MeshClassifier identifies how active cells and faces are located relative
to the zero contour of a level set function, by associating one of the
values of the enum LocationToLevelSet: {inside, outside, intersected}, with
each cell/face.
</li>
<li>
QuadratureGenerator creates immersed quadrature rules over the 3 regions of
a BoundingBox defined by the sign of a level set function.
FaceQuadratureGenerator creates the same type of quadratures but over a
face of a BoundingBox. DiscreteQuadratureGenerator and
DiscreteFaceQuadratureGenerator create the same type of quadratures over a
cell/face when the level set function lies in a finite element space.
</li>
<li>
FEImmersedSurfaceValues is a FEValues-like class for evaluating real space
values based on an ImmersedSurfaceQuadrature, i.e., for integrating over
the zero contour in a cell.
</li>
<li>
NonMatching::FEValues simplifies assembling by creating dealii::FEValues
and FEImmersedSurfaceValues objects initialized with the 3 different
immersed quadratures of a cell. Analogously, NonMatching::FEInterfaceValues
creates dealii::FEInterfaceValues objects initialized with immersed
quadrature rules over a face.
</li>
</ul>
