Basix Python interface documentation

Welcome to the Basix Python interface documentation.

Basix is a finite element definition and tabulation runtime library. It is part of FEniCSx, alongside UFL, FFCx and DOLFINx (C++ docs, Python docs).

Basix can create finite elements on intervals, triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedra, hexahedra, prisms, and pyramids.

Using Basix

A Basix element can be created using the function basix.create_element(). This function will return a basix.finite_element.FiniteElement object.

The element can be tabulated using the function basix.finite_element.FiniteElement.tabulate().
