GhostingFromUOAux

Colors the elements ghosted to the chosen PID.

Description

GhostingFromUOAux allows you to visualize what the current algebraic and geometric ghosting functors (and RelationshipManagers) are going to do. This is useful in tracking down both under and over-ghosting.

At any one time it will only show you the ghosted elements for one processor ID.

Normally, this class shouldn't be used directly. Instead set it up through the DisplayGhostingAction.

Input Parameters

  • ghost_uoThe GhostUserObject from which to obtain ghosting information from.

    C++ Type:UserObjectName

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The PID to see the ghosting for

  • variableThe name of the variable that this object applies to

    C++ Type:AuxVariableName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The name of the variable that this object applies to

Required Parameters

  • blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

  • boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies

  • check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

  • execute_onINITIAL TIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.

    Default:INITIAL TIMESTEP_END

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not to include local elements as part of the ghosting set

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • seed0The seed for the master random number generator

    Default:0

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Unit:(no unit assumed)
