Hi all,
I have to use quadratic shape function (Q2 elements) to do my project (2D). Previously the code works well with Q1 linear elements, when I want to input the gird with Q2 elements generated by Gmsh, it gives the following error: An error occurred in line <1418> of file <../source/grid/grid_in.cc> in function void dealii::GridIn<2, 2>::read_msh(std::istream &) [dim = 2, spacedim = 2] The violated condition was: false The name and call sequence of the exception was: ExcGmshUnsupportedGeometry(cell_type) Additional Information: The Element Identifier <8> is not supported in the deal.II library when reading meshes in 2 dimensions. And, it says the supported quad element should have 4 nodes and 4 edges. Just want to check whether deal.ii support Q2 elements by Gmsh. My mesh looks like the following <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Lk96g0ZRgFg/V-KjPDZp3cI/AAAAAAAAAKs/NZpvWhx06Y4uL6x-6b1gLVfUAayRY5p2gCLcB/s1600/11.png> If deal.ii does not support higher order element by Gmsh, what other format is recommended? Thanks!
