[Libmesh-users] Quick question about libmesh: system.variable_type vs dof_map.variable_type?

[Yuxiang W. <yw...@vi...>]

Hi all,

Sorry again to spam with a novice question. As I read through libmesh
examples, I noticed that sometimes we get the variable_type from
dof_map.variable_type (where dof_map is a DofMap instance) and sometimes we
get from system.variable_type (where system is, for example, a
LinearImplicitSystem instance).

Is there any difference between system.variable_type and
dof_map.variable_type? Are they pulling the same information?

Thank you!

Best,
Shawn
