Yes, you can use DMPlexCreateSubmesh() (and friends depending on exactly
what kind of submesh you want). This will allow you to create a vector over
only this mesh, and map your volumetric solution to that subvector. Then
you can view the subvector (which pulls in the submesh).
Thanks,

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
