[petsc-users] Is it possible to keep track of original elements # after a call to DMPlexDistribute ?

Hi Matthew,

we do not know if DMPlexNaturalToGlobalBegin/End is buggy or if it is 
our comprehension of what it should do that is wrong...

Would you just check if what we try to do from line 313 to 356 is good 
or wrong?

The expected result is that the global vector "lGlobalVec" contains the 
element numbers from the initial partition that have been put into 
"lNatVec".

Thanks a lot for any insights!!

Eric
