Hi Moritz,

In GetDP the shape functions used for the geometry and the interpolation of the 
fields are defined separately. At the moment, you can use high-order basis 
functions for the interpolation of the fields, but only linear ones for the 
geometry.

Do you need high order shape functions for the geometry (i.e., curved elements) 
? Or only for the interpolation of the fields ?

(In GetDP the basis functions are hardcoded in the getdp/Legacy/BF_*.cpp files)

Hope this helps,

Christophe
