# DMAdaptorAdapt

Creates a new DM that is adapted to the problem

### Synopsis

    #include "petscdmadaptor.h"
    PetscErrorCode DMAdaptorAdapt(DMAdaptor adaptor, Vec x, DMAdaptationStrategy strategy, DM *adm, Vec *ax)

Not collective

### Input Parameter

| adaptor | - The DMAdaptor object
| x | - The global approximate solution
| strategy | - The adaptation strategy

### Output Parameters

| adm | - The adapted DM
| ax | - The adapted solution

### Options database keys

| -snes_adapt <strategy> : initial, sequential, multigrid | - . -adapt_gradient_view : View the Clement interpolant of the solution gradient
| -adapt_hessian_view : View the Clement interpolant of the solution Hessian | - - -adapt_metric_view : View the metric tensor for adaptive mesh refinement

### Note: The available adaptation strategies are

    1) Adapt the intial mesh until a quality metric, e,g, a priori error bound, is satisfied

    2) Solve the problem on a series of adapted meshes until a quality metric, e.g. a posteriori error bound, is satisfied

    3) Solve the problem on a hierarchy of adapted meshes generated to satisfy a quality metric using multigrid
