#!EF #!N #!N Functional Details #!N #!N A Composite Field Object 
(a subclass of Group) is a collection of compatible Fields, all 
having a "positions" component of the same dimensionality, "data" components of 
the same type, and "connections" of the same "element type." A 
Composite Field is intended to be interpreted as a collection of 
Fields that together define a single Field. #!N #!N Composite Fields 
are usually created by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXPartition #!EF . They are used 
to represent the spatial partitioning of one original Field. No member 
Field may overlap any other, and, where they abut they must 
share exact vertex locations. If the "connections" component of Composite Fields 
are regular (i.e., Mesh Arrays), then the "connections" component of each 
Field must have a "mesh offsets" attribute that indicates where in 
the original grid the new Field was located. #!N #!N The 
type of a Composite Field is set the first time a 
typed member is added; a typed member is either a Field 
with a "data" component or a typed Group. All typed members 
added to a typed Composite Field must match the type of 
the Composite Field. If a Composite Field has no members, it 
is untyped. #!N #!N The Field created can be deleted with 
DXDelete. See  #!Lmemng,dxall1023 h Memory Management  #!EL  . #!N #!N Return Value #!N #!N Returns 
the Composite Field or returns  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   NULL #!EF and sets an
