Here is what it does: locate the fine quadrature points in the coarse grid and interpolate to them. This quadrature can have huge errors if it falls across multiple cells. This is why the nested version works perfectly, and also why Patrick Farrell and James Maddison have the Supermesh library, which makes a refinement of the mesh until the quadrature is accurate everywhere. That way they guarantee that at least the zeroth moment is preserved.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Two subquestions if I may:</div><div>1) are there any plans to have this integrated through an external package?</div><div>2) if I understand you correctly, you answered about the numerical performance of the function.
