Dear Friends I have made use of the gmsh and getdp combination for calculating eigenvalues of simple Quantum Mechanical Hamiltonians in 1D, 2D and 3D and I enjoy using these packages. Is my assumption correct, that while gmsh allows you to request meshes for up to order six shape functions getdp only allows shape functions of higher order in 1D but only linear ones 2D and 3D. When doing atomic/molecular/solid state physics calculations in 3D it is absolutely essential to use shape functions of higher order to get an accurcacy of the order 10^-6 for eigen values and therefore this is quite a stumbling block. I also looked at the source code shortly to find where these shape functiojns are defined but to no avail.
