Thanks Matt. Are you allowed to insert the same column multiple times in one call to MatSetValues though?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Should not be a problem. If it is, its a bug.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div>

To be more clear, I do the following:<br><br><preallocate><br><insert 0's where I want columns><br><flush><br><insert real entries><br><flush><br><clean up special rows by adding corrections to coefficients><br>
<br>What I want to clarify is if I touch the same column more than once, say I'm looping over neighbors in an octree mesh, and it's just easier to insert them multiple times as I find them for fluxes in different directions instead of finding one exact coefficient for each neighbor, how much preallocation would I need to specify? The number of times it gets touched, or just one?<br>
