If you're using DistributedMesh, a point locator will only be able to find "semilocal" elements: elements that either belong to the MPI rank making the call or are ghosted on the MPI rank making the call. The locator will return a null pointer on ranks for which those elements are remote. --- Roy _______________________________________________ Libmesh-users mailing list Libmesh-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-users
