Your best bet is to do the transformation in serial: write a serial
program that loads the MeshData and writes it out to a new vector in a
new ExplicitSystem.  Then you can write that system out in serial and
load it up again in parallel.

I'd add_system() first - create a new ExplicitSystem and just use its
solution vector for the parameter.
