Hi Matt and Barry,


I only have  a regular 2D  square domain of a unit cell.


How can I use DMPlex to apply such a boundary condition?


Thanks a lot.


Best regards

Fengwen

    Matt,

       How difficult would it be to impose such boundary conditions with DMPlex? Presumably you just connect the mesh up "properly" and it is straightforward?

If you figure out what topology is meant by this, it should not be hard. However, I
cannot figure out what they mean right now.

  Thanks,

    Matt
