SideSetsFromBoundingBoxGenerator

Defines new sidesets using currently-defined sideset IDs inside or outside of a bounding box.

Overview

This MeshGenerator can be used in two ways:

  • To define a new sideset on multiple boundaries (default) - provide multiple boundary names or IDs, and all nodes existing on each provided boundary within the bounding box (or outside if location = OUTSIDE) will be assigned the new boundary name/ID.

  • To define a new sideset only on overlapping boundaries (boundary_id_overlap = True) - provide multiple boundary names or IDs, and all nodes within the bounding box (or outside if location = OUTSIDE) that are currently assigned to ALL of the listed boundary names/IDs will be assigned the new boundary name/ID.

Input Parameters

Required Parameters

Advanced Parameters

  • excluded_boundariesA set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be excluded from the new sidesets. A side is only added if does not belong to any of these boundaries.

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to only include external sides when considering sides to add to the sideset

  • included_boundariesA set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if it also belongs to one of these boundaries.

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:A set of boundary names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if it also belongs to one of these boundaries.

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:A set of neighboring subdomain names or ids. A face is only added if the subdomain id of the neighbor is in this set

  • included_subdomainsA set of subdomain names or ids whose sides will be included in the new sidesets. A side is only added if the subdomain id of the corresponding element is in this set.
