MultiAppCloneReporterTransfer

Declare and transfer reporter data from sub-application(s) to main application.

Overview

This transfer is very similar to MultiAppReporterTransfer with a few key differences. The first is that this object can only transfer from sub-application(s) to the main app. The second is that reporter values are declared on-the-fly, i.e. the reporter values from the sub-app are "cloned" onto the main app, with out an already existing value on the main app. The third is that when there are multiple sub-applications, the values are collected into a vector of that reporter type on the main app.

warningwarning

It is not possible to transfer a reporter value that has already been cloned with this object. For instance, let's say there is a hierarchical structure of multiapps with a primary (main), secondary, and tertiary app. If this object is used to clone values from the tertiary to secondary, it cannot again be used to clone the same values from the secondary to the primary.

Example Input Syntax

Multiple Sub Applications

This example shows a multi-app with multiple sub applications. It uses the same input file, but with different reporter values controlled by "cli_args":

[MultiApps]
  [MultiApps]
    [multi_reporter]
      type = TransientMultiApp
      input_files = 'sub0.i sub0.i sub0.i sub0.i'
      positions = '0 0 0
                   0 0 0
                   0 0 0
                   0 0 0'
      cli_args = 'Postprocessors/from_sub_pp/default=3.1415926;Reporters/from_sub_rep/integer_values=10;Reporters/from_sub_rep/string_values=ten;Outputs/active=""
                  Postprocessors/from_sub_pp/default=1.5707963;Reporters/from_sub_rep/integer_values=11;Reporters/from_sub_rep/string_values=twenty;Outputs/active=""
                  Postprocessors/from_sub_pp/default=1.0471975;Reporters/from_sub_rep/integer_values=12;Reporters/from_sub_rep/string_values=thirty;Outputs/active=""

The transfer syntax is pretty minimal giving reporter value names (can be found in sub0.i) on the sub-app and reporter object name on main app, the object name is used to associate the cloned value to an object.

      from_reporters = 'from_sub_pp/value from_sub_rep/int from_sub_rep/str'

When run in serial, a single output file is produced which shows the vectors of the reporter values created:

                "multi_rep:from_sub_pp:value": {
                    "type": "std::vector<double>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:int": {
                    "type": "std::vector<int>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:str": {
                    "type": "std::vector<std::string>"
                },
(moose/test/tests/transfers/multiapp_reporter_transfer/gold/clone_serial.json)

In parallel, the sub app reporter values are split into different files, one for each processor. This example was run with 6 processors which split the 4 sub apps. So the root processor for each sub app (clone_out.json, clone_out.json.1, clone_out.json.2, and clone_out.json.4) will show the value, while the other processors (clone_out.json.3 and clone_out.json.5) will be empty:

                "multi_rep:from_sub_pp:value": {
                    "type": "std::vector<double>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:int": {
                    "type": "std::vector<int>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:str": {
                    "type": "std::vector<std::string>"
                },
(moose/test/tests/transfers/multiapp_reporter_transfer/gold/clone_out.json)
                "multi_rep:from_sub_pp:value": {
                    "type": "std::vector<double>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:int": {
                    "type": "std::vector<int>"
                },
                "multi_rep:from_sub_rep:str": {
                    "type": "std::vector<std::string>"
                },
(moose/test/tests/transfers/multiapp_reporter_transfer/gold/clone_out.json.3)

Single Sub Application

When there is a only a single sub-application in the multi-app, the reporter value is directly cloned (versus creating a vector):

[MultiApps]
  [MultiApps]
    [single_app]
      type = TransientMultiApp
      input_files = 'sub0.i'
      cli_args = 'Outputs/active=""'
    []
  []
[]
(moose/test/tests/transfers/multiapp_reporter_transfer/clone.i)
[Transfers]
  [Transfers]
    [single]
      type = MultiAppCloneReporterTransfer
      from_reporters = 'from_sub_pp/value from_sub_rep/int from_sub_rep/str'
      to_reporter = receiver
      from_multi_app = single_app
    []
  []
[]
(moose/test/tests/transfers/multiapp_reporter_transfer/clone.i)

The resulting output in serial and the root processor in parallel will contain the transferred values, while the non-root processors will have the default constructor of the value type:

                "single:from_sub_pp:value": {
                    "type": "double"
                },
                "single:from_sub_rep:int": {
                    "type": "int"
                },
                "single:from_sub_rep:str": {
                    "type": "std::string"
                }
            }
        }
    },

                    "type": "std::vector<std::vector<double>>"
