MINI Elements

[hgpeterson]

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to use MINI elements in Gridap to solve Stokes problems? If not, how difficult would it be to add them to the codebase?

Thank you.

Hi @hgpeterson.

MINI elements are not currently implemented in Gridap, neither for triangles nor quadrilaterals. However, Gridap has an extensible, mathematically-supported software architecture. Thus, while it may take some effort to add them to the current suite of FEs, I think it should be doable. If you are interested to add them, I could provide some support.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hi @amartinhuertas,

Thanks for the quick reply! Depending on how things go with the scalability of my research problem with P2-P1 elements, I may want to work on this with you. I will let you know if it gets to that point!
