The relevant code section is: call PetscSectionCreate(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, section, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) call PetscSectionSetChart(section, 0, 11, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) do p=0,10 call PetscSectionSetDof(section, p, 3, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) end do call PetscSectionSetUp(section, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) call PetscSectionView(section, PETSC_VIEWER_STDOUT_WORLD, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) call PetscSectionDestroy(section, ierr) CHKERRQ(ierr) Ideas? -- Chris Eldred DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow Graduate Student, Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University B.S.
