            Ok, I'll try to use another mtd. <br>
            <br>
            Btw, if I declare:<br>
            <br>
            <i>PetscScalar,pointer :: array2(:,:,:)<br>
              <br>
              with DMDACreate2d using dof = 2,<br>
              <br>
              call DMDAVecGetArrayF90(da,x_local,array2,ierr)<br>
              <br>
              access array2 ....<br>
              <br>
              call DMDAVecRestoreArrayF90(da,x_local,array2,ierr)</i><br>
            <br>
            How is the memory for "array2" allocated ? Is it allocated
            all the time, or only between the DMDAVecGetArrayF90 and
            DMDAVecRestoreArrayF90?<br>
            <br>
            Also, can I "reuse" array2? For e.g., now for y_local:<br>
            <br>
            <i>call DMDAVecGetArrayF90(da,y_local,array2,ierr)<br>
              <br>
              access array2 ....</i> <i><br>

    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    Do you mean DMDAVecGetArrayDOFF90 ? I tried to compile but it gives
    the error during linking:<br>
    <br>
    1>dm_test2d.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
    DMDAVECGETARRAYDOFF90 referenced in function MAIN__<br>
    <br>
    Also from the manual of DMDAVecGetArray, it says:<br>
    <i><br>
      Fortran Notes: From Fortran use DMDAVecGetArrayF90() and pass for
      the array type <a
href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscScalar.html#PetscScalar">PetscScalar</a>,pointer

      :: array(:,...,:) of the appropriate
      dimension. For a DMDA created with a dof of 1 use the dimension of
      the DMDA, for a DMDA created with a dof greater than 1 use one
      more than the
      dimension of the DMDA. The order of the indices is
      array(xs:xs+xm-1,ys:ys+ym-1,zs:zs+zm-1) (when dof is 1) otherwise
      array(1:dof,xs:xs+xm-1,ys:ys+ym-1,zs:zs+zm-1) where the values are
      obtained from
      <a
href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/DM/DMDAGetCorners.html#DMDAGetCorners">DMDAGetCorners</a>()
      for a global array or <a
href="http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/DM/DMDAGetGhostCorners.html#DMDAGetGhostCorners">DMDAGetGhostCorners</a>()
      for a local array. Include finclude/petscdmda.h90 to access this
      routine.
    </i><br>
    <br>
    I just tried with dof = 2 and there's no problem. However, the
    manual says that for dof > 1, the array is <i>array(1:dof,xs:xs+xm-1,ys:ys+ym-1,zs:zs+zm-1)</i>.<br>
    <br>
    Should it be <i>array(0:dof-1,xs:xs+xm-1,ys:ys+ym-1,zs:zs+zm-1)</i>
    instead? I had problems with the former, but the latter works fine.<br>
    <br>
    Also, I'm still not sure how the memory is allocated. If I have:<br>
    <br>
    <i>Vec x_local<br>
      <br>
      PetscScalar,pointer :: array2(:,:,:)<br>
      <br>
      with DMDACreate2d using dof = 2,<br>
      <br>
      call DMDAVecGetArrayF90(da,x_local,array2,ierr)<br>
      <br>
      access array2 ....<br>
      <br>
      call DMDAVecRestoreArrayF90(da,x_local,array2,ierr)</i><br>
    <br>
    How is the memory for "array2" allocated ? Is it allocated all the
    time, or only between the DMDAVecGetArrayF90 and
    DMDAVecRestoreArrayF90?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks!<br>
