Partition definition

When a component of the coupled system is a parallel code, each coupling field is usually scattered among the different processes. With the PSMILe library, each process sends directly its partition to OASIS3 main process or directly to the other component model if no transformation nor repartition is required. To do so, each process implied in the coupling has to define its local partition in the global index space.

The vector of integers describing the process local partition, ig_paral, has a different expression depending on the type of the partition. In OASIS3, 4 types of partition are supported: Serial (no partition), Apple, Box, and Orange.
