Unmaintained in general, not working in parallel. None of the current libMesh developers are MeshData users/developers or have been for quite some time, so nobody's had the knowledge to work on or extend the class. > How to handle the meshdata such as material parameters in parallel > if this feature is not available. A separate solution field in a separate ExplicitSystem can be used to store scalar material parameters easily; an equal order LAGRANGE field for nodal data or a 0th order MONOMIAL field for cell data, for example. Those would get extended properly though mesh refinement/coarsening. Alternatively, you could be the one to fix MeshData. We'd happily accept patches from an active user of it. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
