[petsc-users] The matrix allocated by calling MatMPIAIJSetProallocation() was flushed out after calling DMMGSetSNESLocal()

Hello,

After I was not able to get rid of the zeros in the matrix by 

>> ierr = MatSetOption(jacobian, MAT_IGNORE_ZERO_ENTRIES, PETSC_TRUE);CHKERRQ(ierr);


I would like to create the matrix by the following routine:

	
	ierr = MatCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, &jacobian);CHKERRQ(ierr);
	ierr = MatSetType(jacobian, MATMPIAIJ);CHKERRQ(ierr);
	ierr = MatSetSizes(jacobian, PETSC_DECIDE, PETSC_DECIDE, (PetscInt)(info.mx*info.my*4), (PetscInt)(info.mx*info.my*4));CHKERRQ(ierr);
	ierr = MatMPIAIJSetPreallocation(jacobian, 11, PETSC_NULL, 18, PETSC_NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);

instead of using 

ierr = DMGetMatrix(DMMGGetDM(dmmg), MATAIJ, &jacobian);CHKERRQ(ierr);

to save the memory. However, I found that the routine DMGetMatrix() was still called inside DMMGSetSNESLocal(), therefore, the matrix I created was useless:

*********************************************

The final matrix after FormJacobianlLocal() call still have 5776 nonzeros:

% Size = 100 100
   2 % Nonzeros = 5776
   3 zzz = zeros(5776,3);

Is there a way that I can pass the matrix created via line 255-258 to FormJacobianLocal()?

Thanks very much!

Cheers,

Rebecca

However,  after inserting or adding all values to the matrix, by the same routine above to take a look at the jacobian matrix in matlab format, the matrix still has 5776 nonzeros, in which 1075 numbers are nonzeros, and the other 4701 numbers are all zeros.
