<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to make use of meshes with higher order
elements (more than 2) in an electromagnetic solver that we are
creating. How can I use the nodes gmsh is generating, in order to
interpolate the points on the surface of a geometry. I mean, which interpolation
functions (also called shaping functions, I think) are conforming to these
nodes? They are all on the actual surface, right? And, one last question: Upto
which order the mesher is stable?</FONT></DIV>
