Dear all,

I was wondering how to get the vector-valued gradient of solution vector. 
If I have my solution f (a scalar field, from the Poisson equation for 
example), I would like to get u = \nabla f. I started by adding this weak 
form to the assemble_system, but I got stuck. This is what I got so for:

template <int dim>
void Step4<dim>::assemble_system ()
{
  QGauss<dim>  quadrature_formula(dof_handler.get_fe().degree+1);

  FEValues<dim> fe_values (fe, quadrature_formula,
                           update_values   | update_gradients |
                           update_quadrature_points | update_JxW_values);

  std::vector<Tensor<1, dim>> fe_function_grad(quadrature_formula.size());

  const unsigned int   dofs_per_cell = fe.dofs_per_cell;
  const unsigned int   n_q_points    = quadrature_formula.size();

  FullMatrix<double>   cell_matrix (dofs_per_cell, dofs_per_cell);
  Vector<double>       cell_rhs (dofs_per_cell);

  std::vector<types::global_dof_index> local_dof_indices (dofs_per_cell);

  typename DoFHandler<dim>::active_cell_iterator
  cell = dof_handler.begin_active(),
  endc = dof_handler.end();

  for (; cell!=endc; ++cell)
    {
      fe_values.reinit (cell);
      fe_values.get_function_gradients(solution,fe_function_grad);
      cell_matrix = 0;
      cell_rhs = 0;

      for (unsigned int q_index=0; q_index<n_q_points; ++q_index)
        for (unsigned int i=0; i<dofs_per_cell; ++i)
          {
            for (unsigned int j=0; j<dofs_per_cell; ++j)
            cell_matrix(i,j) += ((fe_values.shape_value(i, q_index) *
             fe_values.shape_value (j, q_index))*
             fe_values.JxW (q_index));

            cell_rhs(i) += ((fe_values.shape_value (i, q_index) *
            fe_function_grad[q_index])*
                                        fe_values.JxW (q_index));
          }

      cell->get_dof_indices (local_dof_indices);
      constraints.distribute_local_to_global (cell_matrix,
     cell_rhs,
                  local_dof_indices,
                  system_matrix,
                  system_rhs);
      }
}

But this do not compile. The error is that fe_function_grad is a Tensor, 
not a double. How do I fix this? How do I set up the right-hand side 
from get_function_gradients?

Best,
Joel
