| ID Specification | |
| Node | Specifies an offset to use for renumbering nodes in the source FEM. The default value is based on the highest node number used in the target FEM. |
| Element | Specifies an offset to use for renumbering elements in the source FEM. The default value is based on the highest element number used in the target FEM. |
| Physical (PID) | Specifies an offset to use for renumbering physical property IDs in the source FEM. The default value is based on the highest physical property ID used in the target FEM. |
