The former sounds pretty good. Might make it a little inconvenient to switch between FEBase and FEVectorBase *within the same code* but how often are you mixing scalar and vector FE types with the same assembly loop? Would e.g. the FEMSystem hold a pointer to FEAbstract and then dynamically allocate the proper underlying derived type based on what the types of variables were added? -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
