Hi,

I am working on the problem with large deformation, where the mesh is 
updated (deformed) at each time step quasi-statically. It means that I 
solve for velocities at each time step and use that to compute 
displacements. Deforming the mesh is easy. I only had to map every node 
to new configuration according to its displacement. The connectivity of 
the nodes is unchanged.

Now, I would like to compute the deformation gradient in the deformed 
domain when I assemble the stiffness matrix/load vector. In order to do 
so, I need the shape functions generated from the current mesh, and the 
shape functions generated from the initial mesh. It seems that 
EquationSystems class can only hold one mesh. Do I need to create two 
EquationSystems objects? If so, how can they communicate with each other?

Thanks,

Yusuke
