<p>Hi, Matthew:</p><p> Thank you for your reply so fast! but I also have some questions:</p><p> 2d arrays I used is just intermediate variable, not for fields, and the fields is used Vector. In Finite element method, when I use element stiffness matrix to assemble global stiffness matrix, I always first compute the 2d element stiffness matrixs whose size is 512*512(inner points in element),so big for static arrays. So i want to use PetscMalloc to bulid 2d arrays to store element stiffness matrixs' values. And I don't know how to do, could do tell me?</p><p> then use another 1d array to abstract the nonzero values from 2d arrays above-mentioned. could do you please tell me some other methods much more convenient and faster?<br><br><br></p><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 5px; border-left-color: rgb(182, 182, 182); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid;" name="replyContent">-----原始邮件-----<br>
