Dear Deal.II community, I am currently fixing an orientation issue for some (non-primitive) vector elements with the help of two other Deal.II developers/maintainers.
I have a quick question: On complicated meshes some faces can have a non-standard orientation or they can be rotated against the neighboring face. This causes inconsistencies for some vector elements. In principle this potentially causes inconsistencies for FE_Q elements as well (for all dofs located at vertices, lines and faces). But that is being taken care of in the library, so everything seems fine. In order to understand the issue better for other elements: where in the library is this being taken care of? I have difficulties to find that. Remark: I found a table in (fe.h/fe.cc) that derived elements need to implement that takes care of local dof permutations on quads (not full faces and hence not line dofs or vertex dofs). Now, lines can have different orientations but lines also permute within a cell upon face orientation/rotation changes. Can anyone point me to the place in Deal.II where this is being taken care of for FE_Q?
