[Nek5000-users] r,s,t index for given point

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hi Stefan,

please let me know once you do change the wrapper.

I think the way I am sailing around not having lglel(iel,nid) is fine 
since it is only done once, at the beginning of the simulation.

What I was working on is a new way to do the recycling boundary 
condition based on coordinates instead of element counts. This is 
necessary for us due to the usage of Gambit for our more complex 
geometries. We are still in the testing phase, but I think I got it to work.

What the functions I wrote do is to search for the correct recycling 
point for every grid point on a "v" face (for which I need findpts), 
then to fill the ptr/glo_num variable accordingly (thanks to Paul in the 
right "memory" order - that would have been another third of my hair 
because intuitively, I would have thought its u(1,1,2,1) after 
u(1,1,1,1), I guess - so thanks).

Markus
