Hello



I have developed a incremental mechanics solver able to deform the mesh at each time step by interpolating the displacement values at the mesh points.

Now I'd need a method to "store" the initial mesh, before any deformation occurs, is there a way to do that?

Thanks for any suggestion you will be able to provide

You normally don't do that. Instead you use the points0() member from the motion solver.

Thank you very much for your suggestion olesen.

Actually I am not using motionSolver to move my mesh, but I am doing it with the movePoints() method of fvMesh.

In that case, look at what the motion solver has implemented for the points0() access and use similar code yourself.
