Dear S. A. Mohseni, the Gauss points are assigned in that program as always in deal.II: QGauss quadrature_formula(degree + 2); and in the argument, you can change to whatever number you want: QGauss quadrature_formula(n); with n=1 or n=2 or n = 3 for instance. Best regards, Thomas W. -- +

Dear Timo Heister and Thomas Wick, I am trying to run your phase-field crack propagation example, namely the single edge notched tension test, with less than 9 Gauss points. Hence, the fe variable is initialized using FE_Q(degree) where degree cannot be 0. This means degree should always be >1
