[Dune] PDELab - ISTLBlockVectorContainer

[Steffen Müthing]

Hi Christian,

as this question is more about PDELab than about DUNE in general, I’d suggest moving
the discussion to the dune-pdelab mailing list.

That method will not do what you want. PDELab uses a multi-index scheme to access linear algebra containers
in order to support nested containers and efficient assembly for stuff like Schur complement solvers.

That’s why we have the additional wrappers around vectors and matrices - those do not export standard LA functionality
for a number of very good reasons.

If you want to get at the bare ISTL containers, you can use the function Dune::PDELab::istl::raw(x) to access the ISTL object
contained in the wrapper. Note that those functions are idempotent, so you can also call them on a bare ISTL object.

Best,
Steffen
