What does this last line do? It just adds stuff. Do you use it for anything? Also, lambda is not a good name as it is in conflict with a Python keyword. I'm surprised it compiles at all. > v = TestFunction(mixed) u = TrialFunction(mixed) > > Thus u12 corresponds to the subspace of displacement, and n12 corresponds to > the subspace of the orientation. The way you write it above, the mixed space will actually have 4 levels: mixed = ((vector + vector) + scalar) + scalar In particular, the first component of the original vector space will be subspace (0, 0, 0, 0). Is this what you intend? Note the order of nesting from left to right above. If this is what you intend, can you post a minimal example that breaks? With minimal, I mean less than 10 lines of code. The simpler it is, the greater the chance that someone will find time to track down the bug. -- Anders
