<div dir="ltr">Hi Stefano<div><br></div><div>I used case B) to not change the current code significantly. Nevertheless case A) is worth to look when the number of domains grow. In case B) I noticed that the l2g passing to <span style="font-size:12.8px">MatSetLocalToGlobalMapping must also contain the off-proc entries, in order to assemble correctly. As you said, calling MatSetValues with non-owned dof will raise error, so we have to include that in the current sub-domain. I used v3.7.4 though.</span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks all for the help.<br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Giang</div></div></div>
