Tariq,

I believe you could solve your problem in a much more elegant way using one single Triangulation and DoFHandler, specifying the first dim components of your DoFHandler as your deformation map u, as in x (t) = x(0) + u(t) for each x in triangulation, t in [0,T], u(0) = 0.

This can be achieved in deal.II using the MappingQEulerian class in deal.II.

Luca.

Hi,

I am new to deal.ii so maybe the answer to my question is obvious.

I am working on a simulation of a reaction-diffusion-mechanics system.

The general idea is to deform the domain on which the reaction- diffusion-system lives according to the concentration.

As the equations of finite deformation mechanics get very nasty in the deformed domain it is convenient to solve them in the undeformed domain ( in so called material coordinates).

Currently I am trying to realize this using two triangulations which are initially identical, simulate the reac-diff on a mesh associated to the first and then transfer the solution to a mesh associated with the second where the mechanics is solved.

In a second step the vertices of the first mesh will be moved according to the computed deformation.

My problem is that I need to transfer the solutions between the two triangulations, and according to the documentation one should not rely on the assumption that two identical triangulations will be traversed in the same order by an iterator object.

Greetings Tariq. _______________________________________________
