[petsc-users] DMPlex PETSCViewer for Surface Component

[Mike Michell]

Hi Matt, this is a follow-up to the previous question:

I have created a short code as below to create a sub-dm on the surface,
extracted from the original volume dmplex:

-------------------------------------
    call DMClone(dm_origin, dm_wall, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)

    ! label for face sets
    call DMGetLabel(dm_wall, "Face Sets", label_facesets,
ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
    call DMPlexLabelComplete(dm_wall, label_facesets, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)

    ! label for vertex on surface
    call DMCreateLabel(dm_wall, "Wall", ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
    call DMGetLabel(dm_wall, "Wall", label_surf, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
    call DMPlexGetChart(dm_wall, ist, iend, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
    do i=ist,iend
      call DMLabelGetValue(label_facesets, i, val, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
      if(val .eq. ID_wall) then
        call DMLabelSetValue(label_surf, i, ID_wall, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
      endif
    enddo
    call DMPlexLabelComplete(dm_wall, label_surf, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)

    ! create submesh
    call DMPlexCreateSubmesh(dm_wall, label_surf, ID_wall, PETSC_TRUE,
dm_sub, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
    call DMPlexGetSubpointMap(dm_sub, label_sub, ierr);CHKERRA(ierr)
-------------------------------------

It is a bit unclear how to map the vector on each vertex of the original
volume dm (dm_wall) into the subdm (dm_sub). The function
DMPlexGetSubpointMap() seems to create a subpointMap (label_sub) for this
mapping, but it is hard to get an idea how to use that DMLabel for the
mapping. Shall I create DMCreateInterpolation()? But it uses Mat and Vec to
define mapping rule. Could I ask for any comments?

Thanks,
Mike
