70  Ideally we'd want to update _mesh directly even if it already has an
71  EquationSystems attached and doing work on it ... and that's thwarted by the
72  problems:
73 
74  1. We can't easily tell if there's already an EquationSystems attached.
75  2. We can't attach a second EquationSystems safely (if it already has a system 0)
76  because the DoF indexing will need to be overwritten by our system.
77  3. The destructor of es won't even clean up after itself (we generally expect
78  a mesh to go unused after its EquationSystems is destroyed), much less know
79  how to restore anything from a previous EquationSystems.
80 
81  To avoid these issues, we'll just construct a new DistributedMesh _mesh_copy
82  from _mesh, then do the solve on _mesh_copy, then copy its node locations back
83  to _mesh after the solve is done. That'll be slightly less memory-efficient
84  and somewhat more CPU-efficient in the case where _mesh is serial, though
85  it'll be significantly less memory-efficient when _mesh is already distributed,
86  but either way the robustness is probably worth it.
