                        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>
