SUMMARY
The optimal shape function for phase field simulations in finite element methods (FEM) is not universally defined, as it varies based on specific simulation requirements. Users are encouraged to experiment with different element types, such as linear and quadratic elements, to determine the most effective shape for their particular analysis. Benchmarking results from various shapes is essential, as empirical data is often lacking in existing literature. The discussion emphasizes the importance of hands-on testing to achieve optimal simulation outcomes.

If you can't find any benchmarks for this type of analysis, it would be best to just try different element types and compare the results (i.e. do the benchmark yourself).
