These groups should be disjoint, i.e. should not have shared elements. * If **Create joint elements** option is activated, flat elements are created on the duplicated nodes: a triangular facet shared by two volumes of two groups generates a flat prism, a quadrangular facet generates a flat hexahedron. Correspondingly 2D joint elements (null area faces) are generated where edges are shared by two faces. The created flat volumes (or faces) are stored in groups. These groups are named according to the position of the group in the list of groups: group "j_n_p" is a group of flat elements that are built between the group \#n and the group \#p in the group list. All flat elements are gathered into the group named "joints3D" (correspondingly "joints2D"). The flat elements of multiple junctions between the simple junction are stored in a group named "jointsMultiples". * If **On all boundaries** option is activated, the volumes (or faces), which are not included into **Groups** input, are considered as another group and thus the nodes on the boundary between **Groups** and the remaining mesh are also duplicated.
