Actually, it looks like you're right! Every other shape(), shape_deriv(), etc. implementation takes master space coordinates, but it looks like XYZ takes physical space coordinates. I'd call that an atrociously bad design (in particular it means that all our solution projection code is probably *broken* on XYZ elements...) but if it works for your case that's a nice silver lining. And yes, as long as you're using elem to generate the quadrature points interior to elem then the inverse mapping issues I raised before probably won't be a problem for you. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
