Dear Mark,

Yes, I have tried that. That will only work if I convert the DMForest to a DMPlex first, and then write the DMPlex to file. But then, I cannot read in a DMForest when I want to continue the calculations later on.

Below is the code I use to write a DMPlex to file. When I call this routine with a DMForest, I get the error:

The code I use to write is:

PetscErrorCode WriteDMAndVectortoHDF5File(DM dm, Vec *DataVector, const char *HDF5file)
{
  PetscViewer H5Viewer;
  PetscErrorCode ierr;
  DM dmCopy;

  PetscInt numPoints, numPointsCopy;
  Vec vectorCopy;
  PetscScalar *array;

  PetscFunctionBegin;
ierr = PetscViewerHDF5Open(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, HDF5file, FILE_MODE_WRITE, &H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = PetscObjectSetName((PetscObject) dm, "DM");
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = PetscViewerPushFormat(H5Viewer, PETSC_VIEWER_HDF5_PETSC);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMPlexTopologyView(dm, H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMPlexLabelsView(dm, H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMPlexCoordinatesView(dm, H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = PetscViewerPopFormat(H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  ierr = DMClone(dm, &dmCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = PetscObjectSetName((PetscObject) dmCopy, "DM");
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMGetLocalSection(dm, &sectionCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = DMSetLocalSection(dmCopy, sectionCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  /* Write the section to the file */
  ierr = DMPlexSectionView(dm, H5Viewer, dmCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  ierr = DMGetGlobalVector(dmCopy, &vectorCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  /*** We have to copy the vector into the new vector ... ***/
  ierr = VecGetArray(vectorCopy, &array);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = VecGetLocalSize(*DataVector, &numPoints);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = VecGetLocalSize(vectorCopy, &numPointsCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  assert(numPoints == numPointsCopy);
  ierr = VecGetArray(*DataVector, &xVecArray);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  for (i = 0; i < numPoints; i++) /* Loop over all internal cells */
  {
    array[i] = xVecArray[i];
  }

  ierr = VecRestoreArray(vectorCopy, &array);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  ierr = VecRestoreArray(*DataVector, &xVecArray);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  ierr = PetscObjectSetName((PetscObject) vectorCopy, "DataVector");
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  /* Write the vector to the file */
  ierr = DMPlexGlobalVectorView(dm, H5Viewer, dmCopy, vectorCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  /* Close the file */
  ierr = PetscViewerDestroy(&H5Viewer);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);

  ierr = DMDestroy(&dmCopy);
  CHKERRQ(ierr);
  /*** End of writing ****/
  PetscFunctionReturn(0);
}

Have you tried using the DMForest as you would use a DMPLex?
That should work. Forst has extra stuff but it just makes a Plex and the end of the day.

    Dear Petsc-team/users,

    I am trying to save a DMForest which has been used for a calculation
    (so
    refined/coarsened in places) to a file and later read it from the file
    to continue a calculation with.
    My question is: how do I do this? I've tried a few things, such as
    using
    DMView and DMLoad, and saving the BaseDM, but that doesn't seem to save
    the refining/coarsening which has taken place in the initial
    calculation.
    I haven't been able to find any example or documentation for this. Any
    pointers or examples would be very much appreciated!

    Best regards, Berend.
