<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
asking ourselfs: "is this a permanent feature or a
temporary situation?"<br>
</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<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>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I cannot think of another way that you would implement
this, but if you want something else, let me know.</div>

<p>2- We then tried to create a "section" in different
manners: we took the code into the example
petsc/src/dm/impls/plex/tests/ex15.c. However, we ended
up with a segfault:</p>

</p>
<p>So we have other question/remarks:</p>
<p>3- Maybe PETSc expect something specific that is
missing/not verified: for example, we didn't gave any
coordinates since we just want to partition and compute
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>I don't think so. There would have to be _some_ way of
describing your data layout in terms of mesh points, and I
do not see how you could use less memory doing that. </div>
