Hi,<br>
<br>
Currently, my matrix A changes its non zero position at each time
step. <br>
<br>
For e.g.: At a particular node, at time step = 1, I will insert
values into its east, west neighbours. At time step = 2, I will
insert values into its east, north neighbours. Hence, the non-zero
positions at each row will be different at each time step. However,
the max values per row will always be 5 or less.<br>
<br>
Currently, after MatSetValues and MatAssemblyBegin/End, I call:<br>
<br>
<i>call
MatSetOption(A_mat,MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS,PETSC_TRUE,ierr)<br>
<br>
call
KSPSetOperators(ksp,A_mat,A_mat,DIFFERENT_NONZERO_PATTERN,ierr)<br>
<br>
call KSPGetPC(ksp,pc,ierr) <br>
<br>
ksptype=KSPBCGS<br>
<br>
call KSPSetType(ksp,ksptype,ierr)<br>
<br>
call KSPSetFromOptions(ksp,ierr)<br>
<br>
call KSPSolve(ksp,b_rhs,xx,ierr)</i><br>
<br>
Is this sufficient and correct? If so, apart from KSPSolve,
MatSetValues and MatAssemblyBegin/End, can I only call the other
subroutines once at the 1st time step?<br>
<br>
Or do I have to explicitly destroy the matrix and create a new one?
I think I ask this question a while ago but I can't find the email
