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>
</blockquote>
<p>I think i got it, if i'm not wrong. I mean, the first step. It
was in the documentation...</p>
<p>I defined the PetscSection according to the element i use. The
size of the matrix coming from the DM is correct.</p>
<p>I'm working on the next step : "populate the space coordinates".</p>

<div>This is the tricky part. What you likely have to do is:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> 1) Build the topology</div>
<div> 2) Run over the cells</div>
<div> 3) For each cell, put in the coordinates using
DMPlexVecSetClosure(). This is redundant, but the only way<br>
</div>
<div> you can connect with the Q9 format.</div>

<p>In order to output the results, i've got to write my
own vtk interface no ? (by splitting the Q9/H27 in
4xQ4 or 8xH8).</p>

<div>That is a good question. Right now, it will just output
Q4. However, compared to everything else, writing Q9
should</div>
<div>be comparatively easy. </div>

<div>I would probably write code to to Xdmf through HDF5
