Why it does not work when I use a vector of triangulations? And any
suggestions when using a collection of triangulations?

The C++ standard says that what you can store in a std::vector needs to be copyable (because std::vector dynamically resizes how many elements it stores, and so needs to be able to copy things from the old storage to the new). Consequently, you can't store a Triangulation in a vector.

But, you can store *pointers* to Triangulations in std::vector, or even better something like
  std_cxx11::shared_ptr<Triangulation<dim>>
The pointers are copyable, even if the triangulations are not.


In addition, it is said that copy_triangulation() is not efficient.

That's not true. The operation is *efficient*. It's just not *cheap*, because it has to copy *lots* of data.
