PetscErrorCode MatSetDM(Mat A, DM dm)

Not Collective

Input Parameters#

  • A - The Mat

  • dm - The DM

Note#

This is rarely used in practice, rather DMCreateMatrix() is used to create a matrix associated with a particular DM

Developer Note#

Since the Mat class doesn’t know about the DM class the DM object is associated with the Mat through a PetscObjectCompose() operation
