Hello Freddie,

I apologize for only now replying.  With all due respect I believe that the 
approach where PyFR does not output connectivity information to be a 
mistaken one.  PyFR is capable of generating very accurate data, however, 
for the accuracy of this data to be fully taken advantage of, the 
connectivity information is very important.  One example concerns the 
calculation of derivatives.  It is possible of course, that a given 
visualization program may generate on its own what it thinks the 
connectivity information should be, however, leaving this task to the 
visualization or other post processing program has important downsides.  
The first is that the connectivity information thereby created may not be 
that which is used by PyFR and hence interpretation of the data maybe 
incorrect and/or inaccurate, the second concerns efficiency in that 
recreation of connectivity information has a cost (likely significant), 
whereas PyFR already has that information at hand.  This last issue is very 
important when post processing the large amounts of data arising from 
DNS/LES.

The issue of non-unique solutions at certain points it seems could be 
addressed by minimizing the difference between the different solutions at 
this point and some higher order polynomial.  At the end of the day, 
further post-processing and analysis generally does require a unique 
solution and it seems logical that PyFR aids the user in obtaining this in 
the most accurate manner possible.

Cheers,
Frank
