We don't have anything built into the library to help with that, I'm
afraid.  IIRC users in the past have used libMesh to construct distance
fields for use with a level-set method, though, and that's probably
what you want: construct the distance function (e.g. as a variable in
a separate ExplicitSystem on the same Mesh) with one fill sweep and
then reuse it over and over until/unless you modify the mesh.
