Thanks for your instant and helpful answer. So, the grid from other mesh generator cannot be made coarser at all. As I referred from step-5 tutorial, I guess a procedure like associating the surface boundaries (from meshing software) to the manifolds would also only works for meshing refinement

Dear Truong, My understanding is that the triangulation in deal.II works like a quad/oct-forest.That is, the mesh that is generated or read serves as the forest and each cell is a tree. Consequently, it is not possible to coarsen a mesh more than it's initial configuration. For a lot of meshes
