I don't think we support this with fully-coupled solves right now. Per-subdomain variables work if you want a variable that only lives on a subset of the interior. If you want a loosely coupled variable that only lives on a surface then you create a BoundaryMesh and create a separate system on it. But we don't have any way to solve such variables in the same (non)linear System as the interior Mesh equations. I don't think there's anything in the libMesh architecture that would *prevent* adding such a capability, but the addition would require some serious library internal changes. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
