<div dir="ltr">Hi<br><br>Thanks so much for all your help. I've gotten all the core tech working in C++ and am working on the Fortran integration. Before I do that, I've been doing some memory checks using Valgrind to ensure everything is acceptable since I've been seeing random memory corruption errors for specific mesh sizes. I'm getting an invalid write memory error associated with a DMCreateGlobalVector call. I presume I have something small in my section assignment causing this, but I would appreciate any insight. This is more or less ripped directly from plex tutorial example 7. <br><br><div style="color:rgb(255,255,255);background-color:rgb(0,36,81);font-family:Consolas,"Courier New",monospace;font-size:14px;line-height:19px;white-space:pre"><div><span style="color:rgb(255,238,173)">PetscErrorCode</span> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">addSectionToDM</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,238,173)">DM</span> <span style="color:rgb(235,187,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">dm</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,238,173)">Vec</span> <span style="color:rgb(235,187,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">state</span>)</div><div>{</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(235,187,255)">int</span> <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p1</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">c0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">c1</span>;</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">DMPlexGetHeightStratum</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">dm</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">c0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">c1</span>);</div><br><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">DMPlexGetChart</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">dm</span>, <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p1</span>);</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(255,238,173)">PetscSection</span> <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>;</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">PetscSectionCreate</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">PETSC_COMM_WORLD</span>, <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">&</span><span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>);</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">PetscSectionSetNumFields</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">2</span>);</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">PetscSectionSetChart</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">p1</span>);</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">PetscSectionSetFieldName</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">0</span>, <span style="color:rgb(209,241,169)">"Pressure"</span>);</div><div> <span style="color:rgb(187,218,255)">PetscSectionSetFieldName</span>(<span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">section_full</span>, <span style="color:rgb(255,197,143)">1</span>, <span style="color:rgb(209,241,169)">"Temperature"</span>);</div><br><div> <span style="color:rgb(235,187,255)">for</span> (<span style="color:rgb(235,187,255)">int</span> <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">i</span> <span style="color:rgb(153,255,255)">=</span> <span style="color:rgb(255,157,164)">c0</span>;
