Re: [Getfem-users] quadratic mesh, step 2

Dear Edouard,

Yes, apart from the specific case of Newton-Cotes integration methods, all the 
Gauss points are in the interior of the elements.

Best regards,

Yves

Dear Yves,
Thanks, that sounds perfect for me!
Just to be sure: Gauss integration points are inside points of the 
curved convex where the fem are smooth?
All the best,
Edouard.
