Hey Timo, Thanks for your prompt reply.
Here is the documentation <https://www.dealii.org/8.4.1/doxygen/deal.II/classTriangulation.html> where in the serializing section it says that serializing stores vertices and its location. I am confused if it does store vertex locations now. Also, I checked an old post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/dealii/serialize/dealii/3Lskf2g8PJU/a0ZVVlu3kREJ> by prof. Wolfgang, that talks about creating mesh on these lines. In my case, I am moving my mesh after every iteration just like the one in step18. Therefore, for a checkpoint/restart in my case, even the mesh needs to have updated coordinates and not the one at instant zero. If this is not what save() does, then how can I create the mesh that has its vertices moved. One way could be to store the total displacement as a solution vector, and then deserialize() it and add to the mesh coordinates. Is there any other way ?
