[Libmesh-users] Element data

[Andrew E S. <and...@gm...>]

Is there a proper way to handle element data? The way I am doing it now,
with an TransientExplicitSystem, computes a value at every node, thus for a
4-node element the same value is computed 4 times. Obviously, things get
really inefficient with 3D and higher-order elements.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
