Re: [deal.II] extract_surface_mesh() does not extract refined cells

[Luca Heltai]

Dear Simon,  What do you mean by “demonstrates”? The function you refer to is supposed to work with locally refined grids. What is the behavior you observe? What error do you get? You will have to map dofs on the surface to dofs on the bulk manually. The output of the function only returns a map of tria iterators to face iterators, not dof to dof.

Since the documentation states nothing about the usage of this function for adaptively refined meshes (like it is done in flatten_triangulation, for instance),  I am not sure whether this is desired behavior or not. In my case, I probably do not need the full power of this function.  All I want to do is to "copy" the solution values on a surface of the volume mesh  to a surface mesh, and to associate a DoFHandler object to the surface mesh that allows me to do further postprocessing. So I do not care about the boundary and manifold id as well as the return type, however, my volume mesh may contain hanging nodes.
