SideSetsFromPointsGenerator

Adds a new sideset starting at the specified point containing all connected element faces with the same normal.

This is similar to the SideSetFromNormalsGenerator but may be easier to use if the user knows the external coordinates on the mesh without knowing the normal vector around those points. Multiple points can be provided to define multiple sidesets.

Input Parameters

  • inputThe mesh we want to modify

    C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The mesh we want to modify

  • new_boundaryThe list of boundary names to create on the supplied subdomain

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The list of boundary names to create on the supplied subdomain

  • pointsA list of points from which to start painting sidesets

    C++ Type:std::vector<libMesh::Point>

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:A list of points from which to start painting sidesets

Required 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

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • save_with_nameKeep the mesh from this mesh generator in memory with the name specified

    C++ Type:std::string

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Keep the mesh from this mesh generator in memory with the name specified

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.

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:A 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.

  • 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.

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

    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.

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:A 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.

Sideset Restrictions Parameters

  • nemesisFalseWhether or not to output the mesh file in the nemesisformat (only if output = true)

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not to output the mesh file in the nemesisformat (only if output = true)

  • outputFalseWhether or not to output the mesh file after generating the mesh

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not to output the mesh file after generating the mesh

  • show_infoFalseWhether or not to show mesh info after generating the mesh (bounding box, element types, sidesets, nodesets, subdomains, etc)

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not to show mesh info after generating the mesh (bounding box, element types, sidesets, nodesets, subdomains, etc)
