I think you mean V = TensorFun...

One has to go via the ExtrudedMesh functionality to get these. For example, to quote Henrik in a different mailing list thread, *meshbase = RectangleMesh(Nx, Ny, Lx, Ly, quadrilateral=True) mesh = ExtrudedMesh(meshbase, Nz, Delta_z)* Or you can supply your own base quadrilateral mesh: m = Mesh("quadmesh.msh") mesh = ExtrudedMesh(m, ...) For element families supported, see http://femtable.org/ to start with. If your cells aren't perfect cuboids then some approximations are made in the quadrature calculations; if this seems to be hurting you badly then I can give further instructions.

I've tried hooking it up with scipy, but wanted to do something parallel for a more intensive calculation.

Optimization help
by Justin Chang 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Hi everyone, Attached is a code in which I am attempting to do optimization. For the dffusion operator, I want to enforce this: min 1/2*x^T*H*x - x^T*f s.t. 0 < x < 1 Starting at line 197 is where I have set up TAO through petsc4py. I have done this problem previously purely through PETSc (Matt's FEM w/DMPlex), and directly translated my C code into what I currently have, but the issue I am running into is enforcing non-homogeneous boundary conditions. I am still a little confused on how to enforce these in the context of firedrake/petsc4py, so I was wondering if you guys could help me "fix" what I have. The attached code runs, but I do not think the boundary conditions for the optimization problem are not enforced correctly. Thanks, Justin

Re: [firedrake] Cell center on extruded mesh
by Andrew McRae 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Can you say a bit more about how you plan to use this? One way to get the coordinates of the cell centre is to make a DG0 VectorFunctionSpace, and 'interpolate' the coordinate field into it: V = VectorFunctionSpace(mesh, "DG", 0) f = Function(V) f.interpolate(Expression(("x[0]", "x[1]", "x[2]"))) This gives a field with one vector-valued degree of freedom per cell, where the value is [or, happens to be] the centre of the cell. A more flexible solution is to write your own Firedrake parloop using the cell coordinates. Again, it would be helpful if you could say how you plan to use this.

Cell center on extruded mesh
by Buesing, Henrik 22 Sep '15

Dear Firedrakers, on an extruded mesh: meshbase = RectangleMesh(Nx, Ny, Lx, Ly, quadrilateral=True) mesh = ExtrudedMesh(meshbase, Nz, Delta_z) horiz_elt = FiniteElement("DG", quadrilateral, 0) vert_elt = FiniteElement("DG", interval, 0) elt = OuterProductElement(horiz_elt, vert_elt) How can I access the element center and the center of the element faces?

optimisation

Dear all, I'd like to optimise a functional on a mixed function space, without resorting to finding the Euler-Lagrange equations and applying Newton (which doesn't work well for my problem). How well hooked up are we to optimisation tools for this? all the best --cjc -- http://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/colin.cotter www.cambridge.org/9781107663916

Nonlinear multi-physics example with fully-coupled Newton solve
