I am a little confused with the meaning of the block_size property of a mixed element in FEniCSx. Consider the following FEniCS code: from dolfin import * mesh = UnitSquareMesh(1, 1) FE = FiniteElement("Lagrange", mesh.ufl_cell(), 1) ME = MixedElement([FE, FE]) V_ME = FunctionSpace(mesh, ME) V …

Please note that you are comparing two different block sizes. Note that DOLFINx also has a DofMap block size, which tells you if dofs are blocked in the cell_dofs, i.e. print(V_ME.dofmap.bs) 1 print(V_ME.dofmap.cell_dofs(0)) array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], dtype=int32) Note that for V, you get: pr…
