quadrangle(7) Quadrangular reference element

DESCRIPTION

The quadrangular reference element is [-1,1]^2.

Curved high order Pk quadrangles (k >= 1), in 2d or 3d geometries, are supported. These quadrangles have additional edge-nodes and face-nodes.

THESE NODES ARE NUMBERED AS


 first vertex, then edge-node, following the edge numbering order and orientation, and finally the face internal nodes, following the quadrangle lattice. See below for edge numbering and orientation.

        point(-1,-1),
        point( 1,-1),
        point( 1, 1),
        point(-1, 1) };

const size_t edge [n_edge][2] = {
        { 0, 1 },
        { 1, 2 },
        { 2, 3 },
        { 3, 0 } };
