Description
Some physically-mapped elements (Argyris, HCT) have vertex DOFs scaled by the local cell diameter to prevent poor conditioning, and we store this as
Mesh.cell_sizes
(an attribute that should arguably become private). We obtain the scaling factor at vertices by projecting theCellDiameter
into P1.However
CellDiameter
is not implemented on high order meshes (it should be very difficult to compute), but in principle we just need any O(h) scaling. This PR circumvents the issue by always computing the CellDiameter on an affine mesh obtained from the vertices of the high-order mesh.
