"Does not compute" is right in general. DoFs don't have locations, they have functionals, and it's only in the Lagrange case that those functions are delta functions at particular locations. You were asking me about adaptive p refinement recently, and one thing I forgot to mention is that libMesh adaptive p refinement *doesn't work* with Lagrange FE, so if that's where you're headed then you'll want to make sure you have Hierarchic-FE-compatible code from the start.
If you're trying to visualize the output of sensitivities to spatially distributed parameters, my suggestion is to zero out the solution vector (or swap it with a zero'ed clone if you want to save the original), then set the sensititivity values into the vector at each dof index, then send the output to Exodus or GMV. That way you'll get correct output regardless of FE type. --- Roy On Thu, 12 Feb 2015, Derek Gaston wrote: > That question doesn't compute.
