I’m working with structures under plane stress state and for that I have to solve a linear elasticity problem. I’m currently able to solve the PDE for the displacement and then compute the structure’s compliance (strain energy), which is a real number (scalar). The problem is that for the post proce…

Perhaps a lumped-mass projection (as demonstrated in the function lumped_project here ) of the cell-wise energy to FunctionSpace(mesh,"CG",1) would be a good candidate. That would produce a sort of weighted average of the values in cells surrounding each mesh vertex.
