<br>
What reference simplex is DMPlexComputeCellGeometryAffineFEM using in 2 and 3D?<br>
I am used to computing my shape functions on the unit simplex (vertices at the origin and each e_i), but it does not look to be the reference simplex in this function:<br>
<br>
In 3D, for the unit simplex with vertices at (0,0,0) (1,0,0) (0,1,0) (0,0,1) (in this order), I get J = 1 / 2 . [[-1,-1,-1],[1,0,0],[0,0,1]] and v0 = [0,0,1]<br>
<br>
In 2D, for the unit simplex with vertices at (0,0), (1,0), and (0,1), I get J = 1 / 2. I and v0 = [0,0], which does not make any sense to me (I was assuming that the 2D reference simplex had vertices at (-1,-1), (1, -1) and (-1,1), but if this were the case, v0 would not be 0).<br>
<br>
I can build a simple example with meshes consisting only of the unit simplex in 2D and 3D if that would help.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I need to rewrite the documentation on geometry, but I was waiting until I rewrite the geometry calculations to fit into libCEED.
