Element Removal in Fenics

Question

Suppose I created a mesh using Fenics' internal mesh generator and use it for a simulation. Suppose that after a certain timestep, I want to remove a particular element (and its connected nodes if necessary) from the mesh. Is there an easy way to accomplish this using Fenics' built-in functions? If not, what would be the easiest way to remove a given element from a mesh?

Answer 1

This is not really possible at present - too many things depend on the mesh topology being fixed.
You can create a new Mesh using MeshEditor and not including the cells you wish to remove.
