Dear Seyed, You may also be interested in looking at the module on the interplay between finite elements and mappings <http://dealii.org/8.4.1/doxygen/deal.II/group__feall.html>, and the description to the mapping <http://dealii.org/8.4.1/doxygen/deal.II/classMapping.html> class. Note that the reference element is [0,1]^{dim}.
