However, that is not always true. If there are unnamed side sets in an ExodusII file, the created DM will contain a label with an empty name (“”) with as many stratas as there are side sets. See the sample output from DMView below:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" style="font-size: 12px;" class="">Labels:<br class=""> celltype: 3 strata with value/size (0 (138900), 4 (125514), 1 (265620))<br class=""> depth: 3 strata with value/size (0 (138900), 1 (265620), 2 (125514))<br class=""> Cell Sets: 4 strata with value/size (1 (57888), 2 (57888), 4 (1824), 5 (7914))<br class=""> Face Sets: 6 strata with value/size (1000 (28944), 1001 (28944), 1003 (28944), 1005 (15144), 1100 (120), 1200 (120))<br class=""> <b class="">: 6 strata with value/size (1000 (28944), 1001 (28944), 1003 (28944), 1005 (15144), 1100 (120), 1200 (120))</b><br class=""></font><br class=""></div><div class="">The attached patch fixes the behavior and names the side sets according to their IDs if there is no name associated with it in the ExodusII file.
