Regarding DMPlex, I'm unclear on the separation between Index Sets and Plex for unstructured solvers. I've got an existing unstructured serial solver using petsc's newton-krylov solvers. Should I be looking to parallelize this via IS or plex? Is there an interface for either that allows me to specify the partitioning (e.g. by metis' output)? Last but not least, is there a working example of dmplex in the docs? The only unstructured code example I see in the docs is SNES ex10, which uses IS.

Thanks,

Mark

    Dear PETSc developers and users,

    Last week we posted a question regarding an error with DMPlex and
    multiple dofs and have not gotten any feedback yet. This is
    uncharted waters for us, since we have gotten used to an extremely
    fast feedback from the PETSc crew. So - with the chance of
    sounding impatient and ungrateful - we would like to hear if
    anybody has any ideas that could point us in the right direction?


This is my fault. You have not gotten a response because everyone else was waiting for me, and I have been slow because I just moved houses at the same time as term started here. Sorry about that.

The example ran for me and I saw your problem. The local-tp-global map is missing for some reason. I am tracking it down now. It should be made by DMCreateMatrix(), so this is mysterious. I hope to have
this fixed by early next week.

  Thanks,

    Matt

    We have created a small example problem that demonstrates the
    error in the matrix assembly.

    Thanks,
    Morten
