Parallel adapt?

+2 votes

Hi, does anyone know the current status on adaptivity in parallel? The adapt() function doesn't seem to run in parallel. The undocumented demo redefines the functions & rebuilds the problem using the new mesh at each level which may work, but it would be nice to be able to use adapt again...

Thanks

The adapt function doesn't work in parallel. There is a related report at https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/issue/102.

Mesh refinement does work in parallel.
