• <mesh_item_type> - Type of mesh item (node, cell, or integration_point)

• <material_ids> - Material IDs to restore (space-separated, supports ranges like 1:3 and *)

  Optional elements:**

• <mesh> - Name of the mesh (defaults to the first/bulk mesh)

  Example:**

<overwrite_mesh_data>
    <take_original>
        <field_name>temperature</field_name>
        <mesh_item_type>node</mesh_item_type>
        <material_ids>0</material_ids>
    </take_original>
</overwrite_mesh_data>
