WeightedGapAux
Returns the specified variable as an auxiliary variable with the same value.
Overview
This object computes a discrete weighted gap in a mortar context according to
where denotes the secondary contact interface, is the th shape function associated with the auxiliary variable this aux kernel is computing the value for and is the discretized version of the gap function, computed in this aux kernel as the difference in quadrature point location between primary and secondary faces times the normal vector.
Input Parameters
- 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
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No

- ghost_higher_d_neighborsFalseWhether we should ghost higher-dimensional neighbors. This is necessary when we are doing second order mortar with finite volume primal variables, because in order for the method to be second order we must use cell gradients, which couples in the neighbor cells.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No

- incrementalFalseWhether to accumulate mortar auxiliary kernel value
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to accumulate mortar auxiliary kernel value
- interpolate_normalsFalseWhether to interpolate the nodal normals (e.g. classic idea of evaluating field at quadrature points). If this is set to false, then non-interpolated nodal normals will be used, and then the _normals member should be indexed with _i instead of _qp
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No

- minimum_projection_angle40Parameter to control which angle (in degrees) is admissible for the creation of mortar segments. If set to a value close to zero, very oblique projections are allowed, which can result in mortar segments solving physics not meaningfully, and overprojection of primary nodes onto the mortar segment mesh in extreme cases. This parameter is mostly intended for mortar mesh debugging purposes in two dimensions.
Default:40
