I think using higher order scalar variables is more or less equivalent to using more than one first-order scalar. It can be a convenient way of grouping together scalar variables which are logically related in some way. -- John On Feb 26, 2013, at 8:53 AM, Manav Bhatia wrote: > Hi, > >

Hi, I am trying to understand the SCALAR variable/fe types. The FE class of SCALAR seems to return 0 for the shape functions in all cases. At the same time, the project solution method/class uses n_components of a SCALAR variable, which in turn is the order of the scalar variable. So,
