    <p>Hi Matthew,</p>
    <p>we tried to reproduce the error in a simple example.</p>
    <p>The context is the following: We hard coded the mesh and initial
      partition into the code (see sConnectivity and sInitialPartition)
      for 2 ranks and try to create a section in order to use the
      DMPlexNaturalToGlobalBegin function to retreive our initial
      element numbers.</p>
    <p>Now the call to DMPlexDistribute give different errors depending
      on what type of component we ask the field to be created.  For our
      objective, we would like a global field to be created on elements
      only (like a P0 interpolation).<br>
    </p>
    <p>We now have the following error generated:</p>

              <p>Hi Matthew,</p>
              <p>we tried to use that.  Now, we discovered that:</p>
              <p>1- even if we "ask" for sfNatural creation with
                DMSetUseNatural, it is not created because
                DMPlexCreateGlobalToNaturalSF looks for a "section":
                this is not documented in DMSetUseNaturalso we are

                temporary situation?"<br>

          <div>I think explaining this will help clear up a lot.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>What the Natural2Global map does is permute a solution
            vector into the ordering that it would have had prior to
            mesh distribution.</div>
          <div>Now, in order to do this permutation, I need to know the
            original (global) data layout. If it is not specified
            _before_ distribution, we</div>
          <div>cannot build the permutation.  The section describes the
            data layout, so I need it before distribution.</div>

                overlap for the mesh... and then recover our element
                numbers in a "simple way"</p>
              <p>4- We are telling ourselves it is somewhat a "big price
                to pay" to have to build an unused section to have the
                global to natural ordering set ?  Could this requirement
                be avoided?</p>
            </div>
          </blockquote>
          <div>I don't think so. There would have to be _some_ way of
            describing your data layout in terms of mesh points, and I
