Hi Robert,

Its been a while since your post in 2012, I was wondering if you have any news on the lower dimension elements? Specifically I am interested in 1D elements in 3D space, I do note you said before that 2D-3D element weren't available at the time.

Thanks

Ross

Hi Nimish,

the 1D elements are not currently supported, that's true. Also the 2D elements
are supported only for 2D problems for now - no 2D elements embedded in 3D.

FYI: I am (slowly) adding the support for the elements of lower dimension, and
even the 1D elements are planned, but I cannot tell the time frame, as the rest
of the code has to be updated to allow that.

Cheers,
r.
