[Getdp] material property defined in each element

[Ruth V. Sabariego]

You could fill a function space with the values of sigma by means of a 
constraint.
You start reading the values from a text file "mysigma.txt" with the 
following structure:
TotalNumberOfNodes
numberOfNode SigmaValue
.                         .
.                         .
numberOfNode SigmaValue


// get (nodal values of) sigma from .txt file:
listsigma = ListFromFile["mysigma.txt"];
mysigma[] = ValueFromIndex[]{listsigma{}};

============================================
Constraint {
   // completely fix sigma function space
   { Name MySigma ; Type Assign ;
     Case {
       { Region MyDomain  ; Value mysigma[] ; }
     }
   }

============================================
FunctionSpace {
   { Name BF_sigma ; Type Form0 ;
     BasisFunction {
       // interpolate each component of sigma using standard nodal
       // shape functions; you could also define other fuction space
       { Name sn ; NameOfCoef s ; Function BF_Node ;
         Support Region[{MyDomain}] ; Entity NodesOf[ All] ; }
     }
     SubSpace {
       // make subspaces available in formulation
       { Name sub ; NameOfBasisFunction sn; }
     }
     Constraint {
       { NameOfCoef s ;
         EntityType NodesOf ; NameOfConstraint MySigma; }
     }
   }
}
============================================
And then you can use it in a formulation as:

Formulation {
   { Name Electrostatics_vf ; Type FemEquation ;
     Quantity {
       { Name v ; Type Local  ; NameOfSpace Hgrad_vf_Ele ; }
       // get each sigma tensor component
       { Name sig ; Type Local  ; NameOfSpace BF_sigma[sub] ; }

     }
     Equation {

       Galerkin { [ {sig} * Dof{Grad v} , {Grad v} ] ;
                  In MyDomain ; Jacobian Vol ; Integration GradGrad ; }

       // hack: null terms necessary to force initialization of fully
       // fixed function space
       Galerkin { [ Dof{sig} * 0 , {v} ] ;
                  In MyDomain ; Jacobian Vol ; Integration GradGrad ; }
     }
   }
}
