# DMCreateSectionSuperDM
Returns an arrays of `IS` and DM+Section encapsulating a superproblem defined by the DM+Sections passed in. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMCreateSectionSuperDM(DM dms[], PetscInt len, IS **is, DM *superdm)
```
Not Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dms -*** The `DM` objects
- ***len -*** The number of `DM`s



## Output Parameters

- ***is -*** The global indices for the subproblem, or `NULL`
- ***superdm -*** The `DM` for the superproblem, which must already have be cloned





## Note
This handles all information in the `DM` class and the `PetscSection`. This is used as the basis for creating subDMs in specialized classes,
such as `DMPLEX` and `DMFOREST`
