[Libmesh-users] question about read-in mesh

[Povolotskyi, M. <mpo...@pu...>]

Dear Libmesh developers,

I'm having difficulties in reading mesh in parallel and using it after.

The documentation says:

void libMesh::GmshIO::read_mesh     (     std::istream & in    )

{

// This is a serial-only process for now;

// the Mesh should be read on processor 0 and

// broadcast later


}

How should the mesh be broadcast? After prepare_for_use() or before?

If I want to  solve and output the system mesh with VTKIO, do I have to 
serialize the mesh?

Thank you,

Michael.
