I mean that if the dimensions of the cube are 1x1x1 (for example). And I want 10 elements per edge, the discretization size must be 0.1 constant over the whole cube edge.
This is not in the code, I just impose the number of elements per edge.

Could you please let me know what the problem is that I should be seeing.

In contrast, if I use DM_BOUNDARY_NONE, all 8 bricks have the same size. I have used this together with the DMSWarm discretization. And as you can see the number of particles per rank is not evenly distributed: 210 420 366 732 420 840 732 1464 Am I missing something?
