Hi Davood (David?),



I am a only a trilinos user, but have recently been through this exact 
situation and might be able to help:



1) Create an Epetra map that partitions your dofs among the processors 
(don't include the shared nodes).



2) Create an Epetra_FECrsMatrix using this map. Also, create an 
Epetra_FEVector for your RHS with this map.



3) Call InsertGlobalValues to build the sparsity pattern of your matrix. 
Feel free to include any non-local (shared) dofs both

as rows and columns here. Make sure your InsertGlobalValues signature 
matches one from the FECrsMatrix, not the base class CrsMatrix.



4) During assembly, call SumIntoGlobalValues using both shared and local 
dofs. Again, make sure you are calling one of the functions from the 
derived FECrsMatrix, not the base class (else things will fail). Also 
use SumIntoGlobalValues for the RHS vector.



5) call matrix->GlobalAssemble(), rhs->GlobalAssemble(). These functions 
share the data and perform the communications that you were attempting, 
below.



6) Done.
