[petsc-users] VecSetValues

Hi Matt, I ran the program on two processors. I am trying to enter value into a 
vector associated with DA. I am using VecSetValues since I may need to assign nonlocal 
values to the vector. However, I find that on 2 procs, a general parallel vector works but
the DAVector indexing is not working. Do you see any problem with the DA code ?

Thanks.

Khalid    

THIS WORKS: 30 is written at index 5
-------------------------------
ppy=5; ppx=30;
VecCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,&testVec);
VecSetFromOptions(testVec);
VecSetSizes(testVec,PETSC_DECIDE,384);

VecSetValues(testVec,1,&ppy,&ppx,INSERT_VALUES);
VecAssemblyBegin(testVec);
VecAssemblyEnd(testVec);
=====================================

THIS DOES NOT WORK: puts 30 at index 9 instead of 5 when run on two procs.
---------------------------------
ppy=5; ppx=30;

ierr = DACreate3d(PETSC_COMM_WORLD,DA_YPERIODIC,DA_STENCIL_BOX,8,8,6,
                    PETSC_DECIDE,PETSC_DECIDE,PETSC_DECIDE,1,1,PETSC_NULL,PETSC_NULL,PETSC_NULL,
                    &appctx.da);CHKERRQ(ierr);
 ierr = DACreateGlobalVector(da,&testVec);CHKERRQ(ierr)

VecSetValues(testVec,1,&ppy,&ppx,INSERT_VALUES);
VecAssemblyBegin(testVec);

VecAssemblyEnd(testVec);

Thanks Matt. It works now.

1) Always test on 2 procs once

2) I have no idea what you actually want to do. However, it really simple to just print out
    the indices you are using in row[] and the values in bodyFx[] and check that VecSetValues()
    is working as you expect.
