    <p>Hi, <br>
          Thank you for your reply. It help me very much.<br>
          But, for "/petsc-3.7.2/src/ts/examples/tutorials/ex11.c", when
      I set the overlap to 2 levels, the command is <br>
      "mpirun -n 3 ./ex11 -f annulus-20.exo -ufv_mesh_overlap 2 -physics
      sw", it suffers a error.<br>
          It seems to me that setting overlap to 2 is very common. Are
      there issues that I have not take into consideration?<br>
          Any help are appreciated.<br>

                I want to use PETSc to build my FVM code. Now, I have a
            question about<br>
            the function  DMPlexDistribute(DM dm, PetscInt overlap,
            PetscSF *sf, DM *dmOverlap) .<br>
            <br>
                In the example "/petsc-3.7.2/src/ts/examples/<wbr>tutorials/ex11.c".
            When I set the overlap<br>
            as 0 or 1, it works well. But, if I set the overlap as 2, it
            suffers a problem.<br>
                I am confused about the value of overlap. Can it be set
            as 2? What is the meaning of<br>
            the parameter overlap?<br>
                Any helps are appreciated!<span class="HOEnZb"><font
