Hello - I really would like to have a unique ID for each coarse cell regardless of the number of MPI processes. I have a distributed (not fullydistributed) triangulation. Testing the coarse_cell->index <https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/classTriaAccessorBase.html#a6bebfc1e42324fbf595487e1bf668a22>() method for a simple problem appears to provide exactly what I need but the documentation <https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/DEALGlossary.html#GlossCoarseCellId>seems to suggest that this isn't necessarily true.
The function "coarse_cell_id_to_coarse_cell_index <https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/classparallel_1_1distributed_1_1Triangulation.html#a2b3e5307d74d2747acf0846eda3e8984>" is private for the distributed triangulation but even if it were public I don't think it is what I want, since I am after unique cell identifiers when running the code with a different number of MPI ranks. In other words, I want cell 27 to remain cell 27 whether I run on 1 MPI rank or 10 MPI ranks. Is this possible to do in deal.II? The only thing I know would work would be to use a unique material_id for each coarse cell in the domain but then I would no longer have the material_id functionality as originally intended.
