Yes, there are two volumes that are mentioned in the previous mail, as the solid and fluid domains that have hexahedral meshes and the interface surface between these two domains, > , you can simply defines the mesh fem by setting a finite element > method only on the element of this region. This is what I also thought after I read the manual a bit more and looking at the code documentation. > You can also define a mesh_fem on the whole mesh but specify the > region to the assembly procedures (or to the brick if you use the new > bricks in Getfem++ 4.0). This point is still not clear to me, maybe I should try on some example codes, but I think you are suggesting to assign the element properties to regions by using vectors that specify the elements in that region, and use the assembly over the whole mesh_fem but using the regions defined and since the fem_descriptors are assigned using the region information, the matrices will be assemble correctly. I guess, this is the reasonable explanation, correct me if I am wrong or if you have additions. Excuse me if there are some points there are inconsistent, I am a new user of the library eventually. I have not read about the bricks yet, but Andriy Andreykiv, who is also using getFem++ quite often for his research and sending posts here, has pointed that bricks can be quite versatile by hiding the implementation and boundary condition application details for modelling. > The third mean is indeed to use a partial_mesh_fem object.

I am using the svn copy for the moment, so could you make the same comment for the svn copy or should we wait for the next stable release of the library.
