# PCFieldSplitSetIS
Sets the exact elements for a split in a `PCFIELDSPLIT` 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscpc.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCFieldSplitSetIS(PC pc, const char splitname[], IS is)
```
Logically Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***pc  -*** the preconditioner context
- ***splitname -*** name of this split, if `NULL` the number of the split is used
- ***is -*** the index set that defines the elements in this split





## Notes
Use `PCFieldSplitSetFields()`, for splits defined by strided types.

This function is called once per split (it creates a new split each time).  Solve options
for this split will be available under the prefix -fieldsplit_SPLITNAME_.
