determine global dof index of a point

[Mathieu]

Hello everyone,

I apologize for my simple question:

Given a point, which is also a vertex (support point of FE_Q element), in real coordinates, is there a function that allows me to query the global dof index associated with that support point?

I know all the cells at which these support point lives.

One could then loop over the vertices of anyone of these cells, and call

cell->vertex_dof_index(vertex,...)

if vertex is the one that matches the support point.

But I was wondering if there is a direct way to get the dof index of a vertex based on the coordinates in real space.

Thank you

You can use DoFTools::map_dofs_to_support_points(). This gives you the map "in
the wrong direction", but would probably still be useful for your case.

There is also DoFTools::map_support_points_to_dofs, see
