[Getdp] grad on the surface

[Andre Antunes]

UPDATE:
A possible solution is to add "Smoothing" in the PostProcessing:
Print [normGradV, OnElementsOf Omega, Smoothing, File "normgradV.msh"];
I think this averages/interpolates the values calculated element-wise on the nodes' position.

It would be also possible to specify OnGrid with the desired locations, I suppose

Best regards, 
Andre
