Notes

Node ordering:

3 -- 6 -- 2
|         |
7         5
|         |
0 -- 4 -- 1

`B(xi)` `classmethod` ¶

Evaluate reference-space derivatives of shape functions by autodiff.

Parameters:

xi (Tensor) –

Returns:

Tensor ( Tensor ) –

Derivatives dN/dxi. Shape: (iso_dim, nodes) or (n_points, iso_dim, nodes).

Evaluate reference-space second derivatives of shape functions by autodiff.

Parameters:
