1.	The number of external links in RADIOSS model is not limited. The only restriction is that different links should not contain common nodes. Each link defines a distinct interface between current model and external world.

2.	The links do not specify the corresponding domains. Each model is independent and may be replaced by another one having the same frontier nodes. This approach allows a modular approach to modeling, for example testing runs with equivalent domains with different mesh size (multi-grid approach).
