I tried using the DMPlexMarkBoundaryFaces with (what I thought was) the ID of the wall boundary condition (I mean, I DMView'd the DMPlex and I picked the right id in the Face Sets group), but then when I use the label thus created with DMPlexCreateSubmesh, it just returns ... nothing. The "submesh" is empty when I DMView it.</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I need to understand the question better. It seems like you already have the boundary marked. You just use that FaceSets label. If you want the submesh, you really need</div><div>to mark vertices in addition to faces. To do this, you make a copy of the label you want, and then call DMPlexLabelComplete() on it. Then you can use it to create a submesh.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>2/ how to project on the facets in a PetscFV paradigm ?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I believe that DMPlexProject() will work right now for order 1 projection.
