Dear all,

I have a vector field with 3d data but the positions are 2d in the x-y
plane only (and the connections are quads). I.e. I have a 2d-plane of of
data, and at every data point there is a 3d vector.

I want to compute the curl of the field (really I only want the
z-component), but connecting the data to DivCurl gives 
"ERROR: DivCurl: Operation not implemented: quads is an invalid
connections type"

I understand that it is hard for DivCurl to take the derivative of my data
with respect to z as I only have on value in this dimension. However, the
z-component of Curl should be computable since derivatives in x- and
y-direction can be obtained from my data.

Can anyone suggest a method that allows me to use the DivCurl module on my
data? 

Or is it quicker to rewrite a special purpose DivCurl2d? (That would
involve taking derivates though, and I suspect DivCurl does this in a
clever way - so I would like to use it.)

Thanks in advance,

Hans
