Interpolation onto finer mesh

0 votes

Hi,

Assume I have computed a finite element solution y in the finite element space V. Then I want to refine the underlying mesh by including additional node points. Then I use

interpolate();

in order to prolongate y to a vector of size corresponding to the finer mesh. What exactly does "interpolate"? Is it just an evaluation of y on the additional node points?

Thanks in advance!
