gf_fem
Description
The fem_name should contain a description of the finite element method.
Please refer to the getfem++ manual (especially the
description of finite
element and integration methods) for a complete reference.
Here is a list of some of them:
Of course, you have to ensure that the selected fem is compatible with the
geometric transformation: a PK fem has no meaning on a quadrangle.
| FEM_PK(N,K) | classical Lagrange element PK on a simplex |
| FEM_PK_DISCONTINUOUS(N,K) | discontinuous Lagrange element PK on a simplex |
| FEM_QK(N,K) | classical Lagrange element QK on a parallelepiped |
| FEM_PK_PRISM(N,K) | classical Lagrange element PK on a prism |
| FEM_PRODUCT(FEM1,FEM2) | tensorial product of two polynomial elements |
| FEM_HERMITE(N) | Hermite element on the simplex of dimension N=1,2 or 3 |
