I want to solve a linear elasticity for unknowns displacement (u) and stress (\sigma) simultaneously using a mixed formulation. I have_attached_ the revenant strong and weak form of the problem. For u is the discretized using Lagrange elements and \sigma using Raviart-Thomas elements.

Step-20 has an example using mixed formulation, were RT elements were used for velocity which has dim components. Whereas in my case were RT elements would have dim x dim components for stress. How do I go about it?

In analogy to step-8, where you create an FESystem that contains several scalar finite elements, you will want to create an FESystem that contains several FE_RaviartThomas elements.

There is also FEValuesExtractors::Tensor that allows you to group components into tensors, in the same way as you can do for vectors.
