Is it possible to derive the degrees of freedom of the unknowns in the finite element space in the dissected region in Freefem? If so, how do I implement it? Thank you very much!

Srory, Your question is to abstract, What you want to do.  
Please say, your derive the degrees for freedom with respect to to what. (position, …)  
and what is the dissected region.

Thank you very much for your reply, I have found a solution to this problem. It is to use the ofstream command in freefem to export the data I want.
