Dear Ce,

It must have been coincidence that it worked. I guess it depends on the data structures used by the PETSc matrices. If you were using deal.II matrices, I guess that the serial case should have failed as soon as constraints were presented.

Best,
Martin

Dear Martin,

Yes, it works now. Could you please explain why it works in serial or with a small number of processes?

Best regards,

    Dear Ce,

        I faced a strange problem. With relatively few cells and
        non-conforming triangulation, the assembling process generates
        new nonzero locations in parallel with relatively large amount
        of processes . It works well in serial or with a small number
        of processes or with conforming triangulation. I wonder
        whether it is a bug or my fault. Can anybody provide some hints?


    In your code you use cm.distribute_local_to_global for writing the
    cell results into the global matrix, which includes resolving the
    hanging node constraints, whereas you do not include that list
    when resolving constraints. You need to append the 'cm' as third
    argument in the make_sparsity_pattern call (you can also set the
    fourth argument to 'false' in order to skip creating matrix
    entries in the constrained rows). Can you try this and report back
    in case it does not work?

    Best,
    Martin
