The time has come. There is simply too much confusion between ParallelMesh
and SerialMesh. It seems like there's not a week that goes by that we
don't get a question about using one or the other in the wrong way on the
mailing lists (both libMesh and MOOSE).
I propose this:
ParallelMesh -> DontUseThisMeshUnlessYouHaveMoreThan100MillionElements
SerialMesh -> ThisIsTheMeshYouReallyWantToUse
Seriously though:
SerialMesh -> ReplicatedMesh (get that damn Serial word out of there, it
works in Parallel too!)
ParallelMesh -> DecomposedMesh (It actually works in Serial as well!)
It might also be worth adding a warning to ParallelMesh:
if (parallel_n_elem() < 1e7)
libmesh_warning("You don't have enough elements to warrant using a
ParallelMesh. Consider using SerialMesh instead!");
