It could simplify some aspects, particularly unsteady vs. steady solves, etc. You'd still need to worry about adaptivity, but most other things will be contained to element level quantities with FEMSystem. > - Is there any other possibility I should be aware of? > There is a project called GRINS (https://github.com/grinsfem/grins) that Roy and I develop (mostly myself and my students these days) that is built around FEMSystem for facilitating multiphysics FEM analysis. It could be useful and has a few nice carrots. A much larger project that heavily leverages libMesh is called MOOSE (https://github.com/idaholab/moose); it could also be useful for multiphysics applications. MOOSE doesn't leverage FEMSystem per se, but is an excellent package with a lot of support. If you have questions about GRINS, please feel free to contact me off list.
