I have a gmsh mesh file that I import using "DMPlexCreateGmshFromFile()." I then fetch the XYZ coordinates of the nodes from this mesh using "DMGetCoordinatesLocal()." Deeper into the code, I have a call to "DMPlexGetTransitiveClosure()" inside a loop that
scans the cells (I think you guys refer to it as "depth-3")</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It is more robust to use height 0 for cells.</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 style="font-family:"Times New Roman",Times,serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"> to reference nodes. Here's the catch: If I attempt to reference the array from the vector (Vec) in the call to "DMGetCoordinatesLocal()" by using something like "VecGetArray()," or "VecGetArrayRead(),"
the call to "DMPlexGetTransitiveClosure()" errors-out with a segmentation fault. I need access to that vector's stored XYZ-data because I'm using my own finite element scripts. <span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",Times,serif;font-size:12pt">I
have no clue as to why this is happening.
