                      Users,<br>
                      <br>
                      I'm using DMPlexCreateFromCellList to create my
                      DM. I would like to have <br>
                      an order 2 geometry.<br>
                      <br>
                      It's working fine in 2D for elements of type Q9.<br>
                    </blockquote>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>I do not see how that is possible. The topology
                      does not work that way, and there</div>
                    <div>is no way a 9 vertex quad was interpolated, so
                      something else is happening.</div>
                    <div><br>
                    </div>
                    <div>Moreover, anything you input still has affine
                      geometry. Toby has been working on</div>
                    <div>non-affine geometry, and all the code is there,
                      but right now you have to build and</div>
                    <div>populate the coordinate space by hand. What
                      this means is that you create a</div>
                    <div>quadratic space for the coordinate DM (rather
                      than the default linear), get the</div>
                    <div>global coordinate vector out, and stick in the
                      Q9 coordinates. The topology is still</div>
                    <div>the same no matter what coordinates you read
                      in.</div>
                  </div>
                </div>
              </blockquote>
              <p>I get the idea. So at the beginning i start with the
                Q4/H8 dmplex, then i fill from the global coordinate
                vector the missing coordinates, and attach this new
                coordinate vector to the DM.</p>
            </div>
          </blockquote>
          <div>Yes. <br>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </blockquote>
    <p>So far, i can change the PetscSpace order, add this space to a
      PetscFE, and finally attach this PetscFE to a PetscDS
      (discetization) to my DM.</p>
    <p>But if i'm doing that, the middle nodes will already be added (i
      couldn't find this function so far, could you point me the name
      ?). I can still move those middle vertex to my geometry.<br>
    </p>
    <p>But i couldn't find a way to define the quadratic space for the
      coordinate DM before all of that, at the DM (or DMPlex) level.</p>
    <p>What way can you advise me to use in order to do that ?</p>
    <p>Thank you,</p>
    <p>Yann<br>
