Commit https://github.com/SCOREC/core/commit/4e65c1e297d75e8cfaf55db64dbd895255d3e8cc allows the bug to be _avoided_, but I don't know if Seegyoung committed the additional changes she commented about.

`getScalar/Vector/MatrixNodes(Element,...)` also does unsafe `static_cast` ing of superclass `Element` to subclasses `ElementOf`. Also `ElementOf` casts a `NewArray` (T is double for all `Field`s, regardless of their `valueType`, into an array...

So it turns out one of the variants of the functions to create `Element`s creates a raw, untyped Element, rather than calling the field which creates an appropriately typed `ElementOf`....

Oh yeah I need to add a couple functions to the apf Simmetrix mesh class. @cwsmith aside from mds and simmetrix do we wrap any other mesh types that I'll...

Switched base branch to develop cause I'm a dummy. Is there a way to restrict users from creating PRs for a branch (master in this case)?

@cwsmith Well at least only a repo admin can screw it up (looking at me, @wrtobin) Anyway I'm working on cleaning up the implementation and implementing a test case, but...

Without a massive amount of work, the functionality we can get from a complex field would probably be: - create a complex field - freeze a complex field and retrieve...

Unfortunately the most effective way to get the desired functionality in without too much work cost is to basically replicate core portions of the field API for specifically complex fields...

Okay, everything should be done with this PR. All existing test cases are passing, including the new complex test case. We have a cmake option to determine which type of...

I'm looking into the travis CI issue and hope to resolve it soon.
