I got this to work!!! The error was that I was not using a serialized vector to initialize the mesh function. So, even though the point locator was finding the elem, the mesh function was setting it to null due to the vector not being serial.
Now that this is working, I will try to get my other routines to work around the mesh function class. Still, if others could quickly poll in their preferred method for such multi physics computations (DTK, mesh function, etc.), that would give me a healthy perspective on this challenging problem. I am gradually moving towards wing/aerodynamicz type of FSI problems with non-matching boundary interfaces due to beam/plate representations of wing structural models and detailed OML representations for the fluid side. mesh function would not work there, since there is no overlap of geometry. I had brief discussions with DTK developers, and they have identified this as an area of interest, which is currently not supported. So, if someone on this list is already solving such problems, I am curious to learn about this solution transfer methodology. Any comments would help! Thanks!
