itaps-parallel Notes from today's meeting

[Jason Kraftcheck]

Mark,

I think that having one iMesh instance per Part would be problematic for
"contact"-type problems.  If I understand the nature of the problem
correctly, there are two partitioning of the mesh: one that distributes
volume elements and one that distributes 2D elements on interfaces.  If
there were multiple (for simplicity lets say two) iMesh instances for a
single process where one contains the volume elements and one contains the
2D elements then there would be no way to obtain information about the
relation between the 2D elements and the volume elements.
