Sorry about this. I signed up for a conference without the work done, with predictable results. I have just returned home.

There were just a few small problems. First, the labels were attached to dmSurface, but you wanted them on dm. They got destroyed with dmSurface before setting the BC. Second, the declarations of the point function were missing the constant arguments. Third, the PetscFEDestroy() was missing and extra DM creations were there. I have fixed these and am attaching the new source. It runs for me but I have not checked the answer.

  Thanks,

Good Morning,

I'm trying to verify that the CAD -> PETSc/DMPlex methods I've developed can be used for FEM analyses using PETSc. Attached is my current attempt where I import a CAD STEP file to create a volumetric tetrahedral discretization (DMPlex),  designate boundary condition points using DMLabels, and solve the Laplace problem (heat) with Dirichlet conditions on each end. At command line I indicate the STEP file with the -filename option and the dual space degree with -petscspace_degree 2. The run ends with either a SEGV Fault or a General MPI Communication Error. 

Could you please look over the attached file to tell me if what I'm doing to set up the FEM problem is wrong?

Thank you in advance for your time and help.
