Hi, I was trying to do the partition in STKO v3.3.0 but found out the resultant number of partitions was not always the same as my input. To demonstrate the issue, I am attaching a small model for testing purposes. For this model, I would only get 6 partitions even though I have requested 8, and my mesh has 8 elements.

My real model was a staged analysis of a model with large number of elements added after the initial stage. Due to this limitation on the max number of partitions, currently I cannot use all the cores available on my computer. My questions are:
1) What are the internal constraints enforced on the maximum number of partitions I can get?
2) Could the number of partitions go beyond the number of elements I have in the initial stage, i.e. no elements/nodes in some partitions (otherwise I need to add some dummy components)?
Thanks in advance!
