Hello, 

 1. I am trying to save the solution of a PDE for a 3-D geometry domain.  I 
used DM to manage the matrix and vector.
  The solution vector was converted to local 3D arrays on each process 
successfully. But there was errors when the functions DMLocalToGlobalBegin() 
and DMLocalToGlobalEnd() were called.
  
  I built the code by following the example in 
/petsc-3.3-p6/src/dm/examples/tutorials/ex3.c. The codes for this are as 
followings :

  /*Get the solution vec */
  ierr = KSPSolve(ksp,PETSC_NULL,PETSC_NULL);CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = KSPGetSolution(ksp,&x);CHKERRQ(ierr);
  
  /* local 3d arrays */ 
  ierr = DMDAVecGetArray(da, x, &localArray3d ); CHKERRQ(ierr);

  /* global 3d array */ 
  ierr = DMCreateGlobalVector(da,&gsol3d);CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMLocalToGlobalBegin(da,x,INSERT_VALUES,gsol3d);CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMLocalToGlobalEnd(da,x,INSERT_VALUES,gsol3d);CHKERRQ(ierr);
 
 
 2.   I am trying to visualize the solution in a 3-D domain by using some 
software such as Tecplot. To my understand, I need to output the solution in 
the format of 3-D array. The vectors of KSP solution in PETSc are local vectors 
on each process. So they have to be assembled to a global vector and then 
converted to a 3-D global array.  I am not sure if my approach is a good way 
and if there is some functions in PETSc to output the global solutions directly?
      
Part of the error information when DMLocalToGlobalBegin() and 
DMLocalToGlobalEnd() were called
