# 7.15.1.31. Ic Input_Output_Region

Syntax

  Ic Input_Output_Region {on} MeshPartIdentifier FieldVariableName [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName] {=} FileVariableName [ Region {=} RegionName ]

Summary

  Uses a variable stored on an INPUT_OUTPUT region to initialize a field. Unlike the FILE_READ IC, this IC allows the user to use an variable on a different mesh to initialize a field. It sets up the interpolation transfers needed to interpolate the field from the source mesh (specified in the INPUT_OUTPUT_REGION) to the destination mesh.
