Hi

I am trying to solve 2D poisson equation.
 \nabla^2 u = f

My f has dirac delta source terms. \delta(r-r_i)

I need the value of phi at a particular global x,y location.

These are the steps that I am currently following:

1) Check if the r_i is in the current element
2) If r_i is in the current element, I take the phi at 4 quadrature points and 
perform a bilinear interpolation to get the phi at r_i.
or
The phi returned by get_phi() are the shape function values at the reference 
coordinates.
So I modified 2) to perform bilinear interpolation of JxW*phi at 4 quadrature 
points.

My issue with the above step is JxW also contains the quadrature weights.
So JxW*phi will not give me the exact phi value at the global coordinates but 
also contain quadrature weights.

Is there any way to get phi value in global coordinates.?

Thanks and Regards
Vegnesh
