# SDACreate3d

Creates a three-dimensional regular array that is distributed across some processors. This is the simplified interface, must be used with SDAXXX operations, NOT DAXXX operations.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscda.h"
    PetscErrorCode PETSCDM_DLLEXPORT SDACreate3d(MPI_Comm comm,DAPeriodicType wrap,DAStencilType stencil_type,PetscInt M,
                    PetscInt N,PetscInt P,PetscInt m,PetscInt n,PetscInt p,PetscInt w,PetscInt s,PetscInt *lx,PetscInt *ly,PetscInt *lz,SDA *sda)

### Input Parameters

comm -MPI communicator
wrap -type of periodicity should the array have, if any

            DA_NONPERIODIC, DA_XPERIODIC,

            DA_YPERIODIC, DA_XYPERIODIC

stencil_type -stencil type either DA_STENCIL_BOX or DA_STENCIL_STAR
M,N -global dimension in each direction of the array
m,n -corresponding number of processors in each dimension (or PETSC_DECIDE to have calculated)
w -number of degress of freedom per node
s -stencil width
lx, ly, lz -arrays containing the number of nodes in each cell along

              the x, y, and z coordinates, or PETSC_NUL

### Output Parameter

inra -the resulting array object

### Keywords

distributed array, create, two-dimensional
