ADDerivativeSumMaterial

Meta-material to sum up multiple derivative materials

Description

This material generates new material properties that sum up the values and derivatives of a specified set of function materials. Using args argument the union of all sets of dependent variables has to be specified so that the ADDerivativeSumMaterial can gather the necessary derivatives to sum up.

Example usage

[./free_energy]
  type = DerivativeSumMaterial
  property_name = F_sum
  sum_materials = 'Fa Fb Fb'
  coupled_variables = 'c'
  outputs = all

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:When false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the MaterialBase via MaterialBasePropertyInterface::getMaterialBase(). Non-computed MaterialBases are not sorted for dependencies.

  • constant_onNONEWhen ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped

    Default:NONE

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:NONE, ELEMENT, SUBDOMAIN

    Controllable:No

    Description:When ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped
