This has been 'fixed' in a simple way; an error is thrown when attempted top create a Function from a subspace. The error suggests collapsing the subspace.
Collapsing doesn't work from Python because it return a C++ FunctionSpace rather than a Python DOLFIN/UFL function space. ** Changed in: dolfin Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DOLFIN Team, which is subscribed to DOLFIN. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681415 Title: Problem using sub-spaces Status in DOLFIN: Fix Committed Bug description: Hi, I have trouble using MixedFunctionSpace. Basically I want to project a function to a subspace of a MixedFunctionSpace: from dolfin import * mesh=UnitInterval(10) U = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1) V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1) W=U*V f1=Function(W.sub(0)) f1.vector()[:]=1.0 #f2=project(f1, V) # This works! f2=project(f1, W.sub(1)) # This doesn't! The output of that script is attached to the end of this question. Now, the confusing thing is that the projection works fine if one projects to V instead of W.sub(1), although they are mathematically the same spaces. I hope I haven't missed a similar question already reported.
