We partition elements first, then assign nodes to one of their owning elements' processors. The only catch I can think of is that users can use a linear FE on a quadratic Elem, in which case a hanging node can be owned by a processor that doesn't own any of the elements on which its shape functions are directly supported. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
