[Howto] Implement a C++ Finite Element

+1 vote

Dear all,

I was wondering, is there some documentation on how one could implement a FE to be used in Fenics? I'm planning on using only C++ for now.

Thanks!

If you would like to implement an element in C++ you would
have to do it according to the UFC interface. Look for tabulate_tensor,
evaluate_basis and similar functions. A howto for this has not
been written yet, but UFC is properly documented.
