What is you input? Is it displacement on the boundary? Then you can just send in the displaced boundary as argument to mesh.move(). Or is it a vector-valued function (perhaps obtained by solving some PDE for the displacement). Then just send in that function to mesh.move(). If you already have the displacement of the mesh, why do you need the ALE functionality? If the mesh is already displaced, then nothing needs to happen. -- Anders
