Hi, I’m working with DOLFINx and I want to use the quadrilateral element with polynomial degree 3, i.e, Q3 elements. But I’m confused about the distribution of the dofs
I read from DefElement that the dofs in Q3 element should distribute uniformly.
I define the function space as follows:
So far I creat a 1\times 1 mesh and define Q3 space on this mesh, and if I print the coordinates of the dofs, I get the following results:
It seems like the some dofs are not located at the third points of the square. Are there any bugs in my codes, or this is just what it should be? Thanks in advance.
Hi, thanks for reply. As for the “equispaced” element, did you remove it from dolfinx? I mean, I have try to specify the lagrange_variant, if I write my code as follows
Make sure you are looking at the appropriate version of Basix. Basix, along with dolfinx, changes is API quite rapidly. If you use dolfinx v0.6.x you should use Basix v0.6.y, where x and y indicates different patch releases.
If you use Basix main, then you should use dolfinx main branch
Yes, this is what I did, both of the dolfnx and basix are v0.6.0, and I think the parameter “Lagrange_variant” should have been defined and we just assgin different values. But I don’t know why I can not pass “equispaced” to it, at least I can see from code line 465 in https://github.com/FEniCS/basix/blob/v0.6.0/python/wrapper.cpp, there is this option.
