[Trilinos-Users] Behavior of Epetra_VbrMatrix and Epetra_MultiVector

I'm confused about the use/behavior of Epetra_VbrMatrix and
Epetra_MultiVector
I am trying to port a legacy CFD software package to use Trilinos. I
have internal iterative sparse solvers which I can compare against.
I am solving a coupled system of equations (let's just say 5 for now,
(mass, 3x momentum and energy)
So I thought I would put fill a VbrMatrix where each block was the
Jacobian of the local system (dF/dQ_i) 5x5 blocks
and I filled my MultiVector over the number of control volumes, x 5
where the 5 was each equation I am solving
I'm Implicit Newton iterations for time integration, so I need to solve
an A dQ = -R type system, and I'm using Belos.
This fails to reproduce my behavior of the legacy code, so I step back
and tried to fill my A with diagonal dense blocks, and 0 off diagonals,
and when I solve this embarrassingly simple problem I get a solution
that is only dependent on the 1,1 entry of the dense block, which tells
me I'm not interpreting the use of VbrMatrix and MultiVector correctly?
What am I doing wrong?
I'd hate to think that I have to fill each term in a CrsMatrix
TIA
Bill
