DMCreateSubDM#

Returns an IS and DM encapsulating a subproblem defined by the fields passed in. The fields are defined by DMCreateFieldIS().

Synopsis#

#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMCreateSubDM(DM dm, PetscInt numFields, const PetscInt fields[], IS *is, DM *subdm)

Not collective

Input Parameters#

  • dm - The DM object

  • numFields - The number of fields to select

  • fields - The field numbers of the selected fields

Output Parameters#

  • is - The global indices for all the degrees of freedom in the new sub DM

  • subdm - The DM for the subproblem
