Re: [Libmesh-users] assign subdomain ids in abaqus IO

[Subramanya S. <ssa...@pu...>]

Hi John,
I see the problem. I guess it is hard to directly use subdomains as a
direct equivalent to abaqus style elsets. Abaqus style subsets  As
Derek mentioned in a past email, it is probably better to have a
higher order structure similar to boundary info, that is useful for
checking material assignment or restricting solutions to subdomains.
Thanks.
