Hello all,

I would like to solve an elastic problem in a thick slab supported by a 
truss structure, as shown in the attached image. Looking at this problem, 
this is how I would discretize the domain

   - Use 1D truss elements for the struts shown in green; therefore, one 
   needs to use a Triangulation<1, 3> object
   - Use 3D hex elements for the slab; therefore, we'll be using 
   Triangulation<3, 3>

The nodes of 1D and hex meshes may not coincide; therefore, one needs to 
impose appropriate linear constraints.

Thanks to the tutorials, I know how to solve for the strut structure and 
the slab separately. What I am struggling with is setting up one large 
system of equations that solves for DOFs in the entire system. 

Regards,
Ahmad

P.S. Step 70 comes very close to my problem. The only issue is that it uses 
FE_Nothing for one of the domains; that is, one domain does not have any 
dofs.
