I suppose you need the mass matrix beetween the two elements ? (because, if
you only need a basic interpolation, in the sense of Lagrange elements, you
can have the interpolation matrix without using interpolated fems).
Yes, you can indeed try to reformulate your problem as a set of scalar
problems and use the scalar interpolated fem. However, if you use only scalar
element (not intric vectorial ones), the adaptation of interpolated fems to
vectorial fems should not be to much complicated. If you need, i can have a
look to this when i will not be too busy.
Yves.
