Dear Roy:
Thank you for your reply. In fact, the basic problem is how to know the
relationship between the solution variables (one or several) and
the non-solution variables(one or
several). If one uses two Systems for them, one for solution
variables, the other for non-solution variables. Only one mesh is for
them. Assuming first-order Lagrange shape function is used, how to
establish the relationship using the nodes on the mesh
or other information? For example, there are three solution variables (u, v,
p) on node 1 of the mesh in System 1, there
are two non-solution variables (x, y) on node 1 of the mesh in System 2,
how to know they are relevant to node 1?
thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yujie
