Maybe I don't understand your question. If you have a single line element with vector nodal values (1 vector associated with each extremity), we cannot represent anything else that the linear interpolation over the element... > Thank you, > Corrado Chisari > > _______________________________________________ > gmsh mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh > > -- Prof. Christophe Geuzaine University of Liege, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~geuzaine _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
