Dear Roy: Sorry for re-mentioning this problem. I am figuring out how to deal with it.
Our problem is about several Systems with different variable numbers. Assuming I have 2N Systems. N Systems (Group 1) in them have p variables and the other N Systems (Group 2) have q variables. Generally, p>q. Because I need to figure out the corresponding relationship beween variables in Group 1 and 2, that is which variables are from the same discretized physical points. Therefore, I am wondering how to do it efficiently. If I know the rules of the Dofs distribution, it should be easy to find their relationship independing on element looping. do you have any comments about this? thanks a lot.
