I believe the MeshData class is still serial. I was using it at one time to
apply material properties and other data to my mesh but went away from it
because I needed to run in parallel. What I ended up doing was creating my own
"myEquationSystem" and "myMesh" classes that derive from the libMesh
"EquationSystem" and "Mesh" classes respectively. From "myEquationSystem"
class I declare a pointer to "myMesh" class and initialize it to point to a
"myMesh" object I already created. With that, when I call
myEquationSystemObject.get_system("Sys1").solve() I have access to all my
material property access functions etc. which reside in "myMesh" class as
either functions or functions from other classes declared as objects in
"myMesh". Hope that helps.

Subject: [Libmesh-users] meshdata class
Hi,
I was looking through the MeshData class, and came across a comment in
misc_ex_2 that this class is only Serial compatible. Is that still relevant, or
a possible remnant from previous development stages?
A couple of questions:
-- It seems like this class allows one to associate values (of type
Number) with individual elements and nodes. This could be useful for
body-forces, for example, but I am curious if there is a mechanism to store
such values associated with sides of individual elements (I understand that
BoundaryInfo class stores integer tags for element boundaries, but not Number
values).
-- Is there a mechanism to store integer tags for elements, for example to
associate material property sets?
Thanks,
Manav
