Hi Francis, What is the function space you are using? You can build a piecewise constant function using the C-string Expression via the ?: ternary operator in C. all the best --cjc On 26 February 2017 at 22:05, Francis Poulin <fpoulin@uwaterloo.ca> wrote:
Hello,
I am trying to define an expression piecewise and see that I need to do that by defining a class. Below is something that I tried, building on what I read, but it has an error, see below.
class MyExpression(Expression): def eval(self, value, x): if x[0] <= 0.5: value[0] = 1.0 else: value[0] = 0.0
def value_shape(self): return (1,)
f.interpolate(MyExpression())
It fails with the following error:
AttributeError: 'FunctionSpace' object has no attribute 'interpolate'
Can someone maybe point me in the right direction on how to do tis properly?
Cheers, Francis
