[MOAB-dev] coupler test can not work well

[魏华祎]

Hi, Lulian,

Thanks very much for your help. It works well now.

I have another question, does mb coupler consider the conservation
law? For example, mass conservation.

In every quad of my mesh,  there is a constant mass density. When I
tansfer it from old mesh to new mesh, I need to keep the mass
conservation as much as possible.

In the above test, it is just a points interpolation. So I need to do
more work to keep the mass conservation, right?

Thanks again.

Best

Huayi
