[petsc-users] SNESFAS for an unstructured mesh

[Khai Pham]

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for your response. Is DMMoad is other special kind of data structure
in Petsc? I'd like to use the petsc FAS for the finite element code in our
group and all the data structure for mesh topology is all set. Thus I try
to avoid all petsc data structure. As far as I know the FAS will construct
the coarse solution based on DM for structured grid and DMPlex for
unstructured grid as in ex12. Would it be possible to use FAS without using
petsc DM/DMPlex by adding extra code? How much effort would you estimate?
Thanks !
