However, I strongly encourage you to use PetscSection. Without this, it would be incredibly hard to do what you want. Once the DM has a Section, it can do things like automatically create vectors and matrices for you. It can redistribute them, subset them, etc. The Section describes how dofs are assigned to pieces of the mesh (mesh points). This is in the manual, and there are a few examples that do it by hand.</div><div><br></div><div>So I suggest changing your code to use PetscSection, and then letting us know if things still do not work.</div><div><br></div><div> Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Thank you.</span><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif">Guer.</span></div><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div>
