No, codim problems solve systems on surfaces embedded in a higher dimensional space. This has nothing to do with solving on a domain that is not a rectangle. There are other examples that use a different domain, see step-32 for example. > the fact that my derived weak expressions are in cylindrical coordinate > systems? Are you sure you want to describe your problem in cylindrical coordinates? While possible, this probably only makes sense if you have additional symmetries in your system that you want to exploit, but you will have many other issues with that (quadrature etc.). If you just want to solve on a disk or sphere, you just need to change the geometry and potentially use a higher order mapping for accuracy. > > Thanks, > Benhour > > > On Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 1:04:04 PM UTC-5, Timo Heister wrote: >> >> > Let me put it in a such way.
