That's a shame, but understandable. > Anyway, here's my patch that adds higher order components as > additional scalars with an integer suffix in the name to VTK output > files, leaving the first order component untouched. Looking over this... would it make sense to interpolate instead when we find nodes with missing Lagrange DoFs, to get an isoparametric result? VTK supports second order elements, and first order data is a subset of second order data, so we could still naturally represent it on those elements. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Libmesh-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-devel
