Description

Maybe we can generalize the code further by implementing a virtual element example. A minimal implementation is given in [1] as a starting point.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the referenced paper for the virtual element method implementation and understand how to generalize existing finite element code in Ferrite.jl. Look at the 50 lines MATLAB implementation as a starting point.
