MeshFunction assert(entity.dim() == _dim) failed

You should use the second argument (exterior_facet_domains) for
specifying Neumann boundaries.

Try

 VariationalProblem problem(a, L, bcs, 0, &ASD, 0);

and see if that helps.

There is a demo that uses "0" as in the integer value instead of my "empty" MeshFunction, but when I tried that, I couldn't get it to compile. I put the mesh function that I care about in the last position, because as I understand it, that is the position for external facets. Which in this case, would be my external edges. I can compile this code and it runs up until i try to call "solve." I then get that assertion error. I was looking in the code, and it seems like _dim is the dimension that is passed to the mesh function, and entity.dim() is the dimension of the MeshEntity the MeshFunction is trying to mark. So what I think is happening, is that the MeshFunction somehow thinks I have a 3d domain.

I saw this thread: http://<email address hidden>/msg04158.html and that's why I use a copy constructor to make a new mesh that I for everything I define. This way I can be absolutely sure that the program knows I'm using the same mesh.
