isoparametric elements

0 votes

Hi,

For my research I need 4 and 8 noded rectangular isoparamteric elements.
Are there any ways of using these elements in FEniCS?

Not at present. There is some limited support for triangular 6-node

Hello,

is there any documentation/description on how to use such 6-node triangular elements?
So far I just know about issue 321 that was pointed out in the following related question:
Update on isoparametric elements
but actually in that issue, only an appropriate setting for future development was given, without an actual implementation of higher order elements.

Thank you!
