Non-informative error for non-supported elements

[Marie Rognes]

Hi guys,

Whenever I try to run any simulation with Argyris elements, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: 0

This particular one was produced using the demo_poisson.py code with Argyris elements. The code is reproduced minimally below:

from dolfin import *

mesh = UnitSquare(32, 32)
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "ARG",5)

def boundary(x):
    return x[0] < DOLFIN_EPS or x[0] > 1.0 - DOLFIN_EPS

u0 = Constant(0.0)
bc = DirichletBC(V, u0, boundary)

u = TrialFunction(V)
v = TestFunction(V)
f = Expression("10*exp(-(pow(x[0] - 0.5, 2) + pow(x[1] - 0.5, 2)) / 0.02)")
g = Expression("sin(5*x[0])")
a = inner(grad(u), grad(v))*dx
L = f*v*dx + g*v*ds

u = Function(V)
solve(a == L, u, bc)

Is this a bug, or do I just not understand how Argyris elements work?

Many thanks,

Chris
