What if the following does not work?

File('saved_u.xml') << u

Is there another way how to export solution?

Yes, there is. There are many output formats but only XML and XDMF can be read.

What error message is raised by File('saved_u.xml') << u?

Solved already, sorry. My problem was I was trying to export the solution, not the projected version of it. This worked.

h_proj = project(h, spaceT)
hfile << h_proj
