[petsc-users] Uninterpolating DMLabels?

Matt,

I am not sure I follow what you're saying here. Currently I am working with
3D simplex elements so if the variable numSubcells is what you're referring
to in CellRefinerGetAffineTransforms_Internal(), there's no example for
REFINER_SIMPLEX_3D. What would it be in that case, 7?

What I am looking for is a function and/or a set of algorithms where given
a sieve point m from the original coarse mesh, I can obtain the
corresponding set of (fine mesh) sieve points. I am assuming c_f \in [C
c_c, C (c_c + 1) ) describes just that?

Is there an existing DMPlex related function that implements this directly?
Because I don't see how CellRefinerGetAffineTransforms_Internal() will help.


Thanks,
