You would simply have to choose the FE_Nedelec class. Assembling the
bilinear form then proceeds as as discussed in the documentation module on
vector-valued problems.
It might be worthwhile to implement a curl function so that you can do
FEValuesExtractors::Vector E(0);
local_matrix(i,j)
+= fe_values[E].curl(i,q) * ...
Right now you would have to compute the curl from the components of the
gradient matrix but it would be simpler if a function
FEValuesViews::Vector::curl
existed. Let me know if you want help implementing such a function.
