[MOAB-dev] Does Moab Coupler only work on 3D meshes?

[魏华祎]

My application mesh is a block structured mesh, which vertices will
move and hence the mesh quality will become bad,  so I need to
optimize the location of mesh vertices. Then I need to tansfer data
from old mesh to new mesh. That's my problem.  My program is parallel
and there is a structured quad mesh on each processor.  By the way,
my program is not based on Moab. But I want to use
the coupler tool in moab. So fristly I need transfer my mesh into Moab.

At present, I explicityly transfer my every block mesh to the
repesentation of vertices and coonecicity, just as your suggection. I
am writing a test first. Dose you have better idea about it?
