Re: XML format for Higher Order meshes

 

I submitted at the LINUX command line into the FENICS online mercurial repository. So it is there. But I don't know how to submit it to the mailing list like all the other updates are done. I'm just ignorant of how to do this. The dolfin manual did not say how to do this. any help?

I created a bundle:

dolfin-walker-2008-09-03.hg

whose description is:

"This patch adds in support for reading in an additional 'coordinates'
tag in the mesh.xml file, and uses this information to create a Function*
called mesh_coordinates that is contained in the MeshGeometry class.
This function stores higher order mesh coordinate data that comes from
assuming the mesh elements are mapped using a finite element function
higher order than linear.  Another boolean array is created inside
MeshGeometry that indicates which elements are ACTUALLY curved, and which
are just straight (standard).  This is completely backwards compatible
with previous mesh formats."

I followed the directions in the DOLFIN manual to update.  I'm not sure
if there is anything else I need to do for this update.

Anyway, the next step in this higher order mesh format, is to modify
UFCCell.h and ufc::cell.

Sounds good, but where is it?
