I think if you have variables for x_new,y_new,z_new set up over the domain, you 
should be able to use the updated x_new,y_new and z_new for integration of the 
system matrix without actually deforming the mesh. 
Alternatively you could just use this, 

Node & libMesh::Node::operator=(const Point &         p) inline

plastic flow, concentration inhomogeneities diffuse to uniformity. Systems tend 
to subside to very simple states,independent of their specific history."

Subject: [Libmesh-users] Constrained Mesh deformation

hi,
     I am new to libMesh, I wanted to know if i can use libMesh for
deforming an existing 3D unstructured grid with some constrain  for eg. in
a shape optimization context.
