Hi Benjamin, I'm afraid that I don't have any knowledge of the save/load functionality in deal.II, but maybe someone who has experience with this part of the code (one of the ASPECT users, perhaps?) may be willing to comment on this. Just to clarify though - this is not a bug per se, but more a matter of efficiency. Before loading the DoFHandler (thereby, presumably, defining a DoF numbering), there's no way to register an FE with it except by the initialize or distribute_dof calls, both of which actually do the job of distributing DoFs. Is my interpretation correct?
