Detailed Description
Define the degree of freedom.
The dof is the nr_on_node'th dof on the Node node. On the element level, node corresponds to the local number, and it is global number on the mesh level. Dof-concept is not yet used very consistently Base class finite element. Represents a reference element. Mainly used as interface. Usually casted to ScalarFiniteElement, HCurlFiniteElement or HDivFiniteElement. Provides element shape, space dimension, number of dofs, polynomial order.
