Dear Simon and prof. Bangerth Thanks for your kind replies. The issue finally turned out to be that I set a 'smoothness' when I defined the triangulation ( my supervisor found it, he is a deal ii deep lover XD).
I have a further question though. The background is that, I am doing some electromagnetic geophysics simulation based on an octree mesh, and before that, I make a rectangular base mesh (make_grid) using *GridGenerator::subdivided_hyper_rectangle*. For the current case, my mesh size is 41*41*37, it will take 90s to make the grid. Is this time cost reasonable, as I don't feel so..
