I think we don't make that assumption in most code, but we do renumber nodes and elements to make them contiguous during a typical prepare_for_use and I think many of the IO methods assume they're contiguous. Also SerialMesh stores things in vectors indexed by ID; *too* much sparsity would be a memory suck. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
