Well, if you use the library (DOLFIN) to generate your MeshFunction you are safe. > > 2) To read a MeshFunction from file in parallel I need to convert > > all my MeshFunctions to MeshValueCollections and store them.

So the file format of MeshValueCollection and MeshFunction will now be the same? Johan > Garth > > > Doable! > > > > Johan > > > > On Tuesday September 20 2011 01:17:25 Garth N.
