DMPlexBuildFromCellList

Build DMPLEX topology from a list of vertices for each cell (common mesh generator output)

Synopsis

#include "petscdmplex.h"   
#include "petscdmplex.h"   
PetscErrorCode DMPlexBuildFromCellList(DM dm, PetscInt numCells, PetscInt numVertices, PetscInt numCorners, const PetscInt cells[])

Input Parameters

dm - The DM
numCells - The number of cells owned by this process
numVertices - The number of vertices owned by this process, or PETSC_DECIDE
numCorners - The number of vertices for each cell
cells - An array of numCells*numCorners numbers, the global vertex numbers for each cell

Notes

Two triangles sharing a face

  0  0 | 1  3

would have input
 numCells = 2, numVertices = 4
 cells = [0 1 2  1 3 2]

which would result in the DMPlex

If numVertices is PETSC_DECIDE, it is computed by PETSc as the maximum vertex index in cells + 1.

Not currently supported in Fortran.
