[petsc-users] ex12 with Neumann BC

Hello,

I now able to simulate a two fields non-linear system with fem, and I 
get a good speed up with Dirichlet BC. Thanks for your help.

About Neumann BC, I need to add "-ksp_type fgmres", else the line search 
failed (even with -snes_mf).
More over, the Neumann version works only in sequential. Indeed, in 
parallel, the boundary conditions are applied inside the domain. I guess 
it is because the label are automatically add after the mesh 
partitioning. This problem doesn't appear in ex12 because there is a 
test in the plugin function, but it is not possible to do the same thing 
with a complex shape. I don't know what it must be done.

In Neumann case, the 1D-integral apears only in the residual part (ie 
the right side hand of the system). Is it done in the 
FEMIntegrateBdResidualBatch function ?

Thanks
Olivier B
