[Libmesh-users] Two interacting meshes in parallel

2012-08-16 Thread Roman Vetter
Hello everybody! I'm going to need two different meshes (with different dimension) in one simulation. On each of them, a transient system is solved, and they mutually interact during each timestep. My perception is that the intended way to achieve this is by using two EquationSystems. Is that
