# 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
