If I understand this correctly, in the first method, Triangle and TetGen will refine the mesh based on the refinement limit (largest allowable cell size) but doesn't necessarily have to uniformly refine the mesh, meaning the box/cube mesh could end up looking very distorted and unstructured with various element sizes. And in the second method, it ensures that all elements/cells are refined the same number of times no matter how what method was used to create the DMPlex mesh. Or am I missing something?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that is right.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div></div>2) Okay that makes sense.<br><div><br></div><div>3) Generally speaking the data would be cell-wise, but hypothetically what if I had to work with data that's defined at the cell vertices? Data like the Marmousi set (btw the link I proved was sort of broken, here is another <a href="http://www.reproducibility.org/RSF/book/data/marmousi/paper_html/node2.html" target="_blank">link</a> to it) is pointwise, but i am sure it could be preprocessed and interpolated to cell-centered data. When I see your run examples in builder.py for SNES ex12, you have the flag "-mat_petscspace_order 1" even when -petscspace_order is 2. So I guess my question is does the order of the material/auxiliary FE necessarily have to match that of the trial function FE?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>No, its does not. As you noted, there are tests for ex12 that have different orders for the coefficient and the solution.</div><div><br></div><div>This month is completely busy for me, but I think I will have time to meet in Feb.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div></div><div>Thanks,<br>Justin<br></div></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 5:45 AM, Matthew Knepley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:knepley@gmail.com" target="_blank">knepley@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span>On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 3:06 AM, Justin Chang <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jychang48@gmail.com" target="_blank">jychang48@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div>I have a few simple questions regarding DMPlex mesh refinement, interpolation, and auxiliary data:<br><br></div>1) What exactly does DMPlexSetRefinementUniform do?
