<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Petsc team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to use DMplex in combination with PetscFE and KSP to solve a linear system.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have struggled to do so, as all the examples I found ( for example:
<a href="https://petsc.org/release/src/snes/tutorials/ex26.c.html">https://petsc.org/release/src/snes/tutorials/ex26.c.html</a>) use SNES.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to avoid this? Optimally I would like to use dmplex for the mesh management, then create the discretization with PetscFE and then get KSP to automatically<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">assemble the system matrix A. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope my questions is reasonable.<o:p></o:p></p>
