MultiAppPostprocessorInterpolationTransfer

Transfer postprocessor data from sub-application into field data on the parent application.

Overview

Performs a transfer of a PostProcessor value from sub-applications to a field variable on the parent application using interpolation based on the location of each sub-application.

Example Input File Syntax

The following input file snippet demonstrates the use of the MultiAppPostprocessorInterpolationTransfer to interpolate the average value from two sub-applications to a field variable in the parent application.
