C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName

Controllable:No
Description:The mesh we want to modify

SideSetsAroundSubdomainGenerator
Adds element faces that are on the exterior of the given block to the sidesets specified
Overview
By default, SideSetsAroundSubdomainGenerator
creates a sideset (with ID defined by the user) around an associated block ID. Multiple sidesets over multiple blocks can be defined at once.
Optional parameters allow more specific behavior:
A normal vector can be defined (using
normal
) such that only faces whose outward facing normal is equivalent (or within a specified tolerancenormal_tol
) is added to the sideset.replace
is a boolean parameter that sets whether any old sidesets should be replaced or preserved (default is preservation).fixed_normal
is a boolean parameter inherited fromSideSetsGeneratorBase
that sets whether a sideset defined on a qualifying face is to be "painted" onto adjacent faces (default = False). This allows sidesets for slightly curved boundaries to be more easily defined. Fixing the normal (settingfixed_normal = True
) disables this behavior.
Input Parameters
- fixed_normalFalseThis Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:This Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
- replaceFalseIf true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:If true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
Optional Parameters
- blockThe blocks around which to create sidesets
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The blocks around which to create sidesets
- include_only_external_sidesFalseWhether to only include external sides when considering sides to add to the sideset
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to only include external sides when considering sides to add to the sideset
- normal0 0 0If supplied, only faces with normal equal to this, up to normal_tol, will be added to the sidesets specified
Default:0 0 0
C++ Type:libMesh::Point
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:If supplied, only faces with normal equal to this, up to normal_tol, will be added to the sidesets specified
- normal_tol0.1If normal is supplied then faces are only added if face_normal.normal_hat >= 1 - normal_tol, where normal_hat = normal/|normal|
Default:0.1
C++ Type:double
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:If normal is supplied then faces are only added if face_normal.normal_hat >= 1 - normal_tol, where normal_hat = normal/|normal|
