! Called by all solvers in mesh_init in order to initialize the ip coordinates.
! Later on the current ip coordinates are directly prvided by the spectral solver and by Abaqus,
! so no need to use this subroutine anymore; Marc however only provides nodal displacements,
! so in this case the ip coordinates are always calculated on the basis of this subroutine.
! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
! FOR THE MOMENT THIS SUBROUTINE ACTUALLY CALCULATES THE CELL CENTER AND NOT THE IP COORDINATES,
