David, the code snippet you posted is not going to work. You can't use a FEValues without initializing it with a cell_iterator. If all the information you need for your postprocessing is contained in a data vector based on a single DoFHandler, then DataPostprocessor is what you want to use. If

Hi, Well, I found that the FiniteElement base class itself has a method Tensor< 1, dim > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::shape_grad (const unsigned int i, const Point ) const which can compute shape gradient values at a given point, but the result it get is on the reference cell, not the
