TensorFunctionSpace

class dolfin.functions.functionspace.TensorFunctionSpace(mesh, family, degree, shape=None, symmetry=None, constrained_domain=None, restriction=None)

Bases: dolfin.functions.functionspace.FunctionSpaceBase

TensorFunctionSpace represents a tensor-valued finite element function space.

Create tensor-valued finite element function space.

Arguments

mesh

a Mesh.

family

a string specifying the element family, see FunctionSpace for alternatives.

degree

the degree of the element.

shape

an optional argument specifying the shape of the tensor.

symmetry

optional argument specifying whether the tensor is symmetric.

If the shape argument is not provided, the dimension will be deduced from the dimension of the mesh.

Example of usage

V = TensorFunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
