Dear Koki,
Many thanks for your help and sorry for the slow reply.
I haven't been able to get it to work successfully. I have attached a
small example that replicates the main features of our code. In this
example a Box with one random field is generated, saved and loaded. The
case works for non-periodic domains and fails for periodic ones. I've
also included the error output at the bottom of this email.
To switch between periodic and non-periodic, please comment/uncomment
lines 47 to 52 in src/main.c. To compile, the files "compile" and
"CMakeLists.txt" are included in a separate tar file, if you want to use
this. Your library paths should be updated in the latter file. The PETSc
main distribution is used.
Many thanks for your help!
Thanks and best regards,
Berend.
