Re: Computation of Norms

 

I imported tetrahedron from dolfin.ufl, is that correct?

I get this error when trying out "element = VectorElement("Lagrange",
tetrahedron, 3)"

Preprocessing form file: l2ErrNorm.form --> l2ErrNorm.py

*** Cell('tetrahedron', 1)
*** To get more information about this error, rerun ffc with the option -d1.
