I haven't used the Preconditioner class in libMesh, but this kind of init()/clear() functionality is useful for time-dependent problems in which you need to re-initialize the solver/preconditioner repeatedly. It is similarly useful for adaptive discretizations. I think it is a good thing to have in the base class. But, again, I'm not currently using this class! -- Boyce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
