Not auto-magically, but LibMesh may provide some helpful data structures to you if you can come up with an algorithm to coarsen by hand. Basically you would start by opening up your fine mesh, and then creating a new mesh and adding only points (and connectivity) for a subset of the fine mesh points. If your surface mesh is highly unstructured ... coming up with such an algorithm may be difficult. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
