Hello!

I have noticed that the simulation results depend on how the mesh is 
constructed if the FE_Nedelec finite elements are used. I have described my 
experience with mesh orientation in section “Distortion nr. 3” on this 
page: 

https://www.cembooks.nl/logbook1/page_distortions.html 

I strongly suspect this has something to do with the warning message in the 
documentation of the FE_Nedelec finite elements. I quote:

“Several aspects of the implementation are experimental. For the moment, it 
is safe to use the element on globally refined meshes with consistent 
orientation of faces. See the todo entries below for more detailed caveats.”

Is somebody dealing with this problem? How do I orient the faces 
consistently? Are there any guidelines on how to check and fix orientations 
of the faces? Is it always possible to orient the faces consistently?
