Controllable:No

ElementsAlongPlane
Outputs the IDs of every element intersected by a user-defined plane
Description
The ElementsAlongPlane class is a VectorPostprocessor that outputs the element ID of every element intersected by a plane. The IDs are provided in a vector named elem_ids.
The user defines the plane using a combination of a point on the plane and a normal to the plane, and the plane extends infinitely.
The IDs output from this class use the MOOSE internal numbering scheme, which starts with 0, so 1 should be added to them to translate them to the equivalent numbering in formats such as Exodus that start with 1.
Input Parameters
- contains_complete_historyFalseSet this flag to indicate that the values in all vectors declared by this VPP represent a time history (e.g. with each invocation, new values are added and old values are never removed). This changes the output so that only a single file is output and updated with each invocation
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Set this flag to indicate that the values in all vectors declared by this VPP represent a time history (e.g. with each invocation, new values are added and old values are never removed). This changes the output so that only a single file is output and updated with each invocation
- execute_onTIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
Default:TIMESTEP_END
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
- parallel_typeREPLICATEDSet how the data is represented within the VectorPostprocessor (VPP); 'distributed' indicates that data within the VPP is distributed and no auto communication is performed, this setting will result in parallel output within the CSV output; 'replicated' indicates that the data within the VPP is correct on processor 0, the data will automatically be broadcast to all processors unless the '_auto_broadcast' param is set to false within the validParams function.
Default:REPLICATED
C++ Type:MooseEnum
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Set how the data is represented within the VectorPostprocessor (VPP); 'distributed' indicates that data within the VPP is distributed and no auto communication is performed, this setting will result in parallel output within the CSV output; 'replicated' indicates that the data within the VPP is correct on processor 0, the data will automatically be broadcast to all processors unless the '_auto_broadcast' param is set to false within the validParams function.
- prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
- use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Optional Parameters
- allow_duplicate_execution_on_initialFalseIn the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:In the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

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:Yes
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
- execution_order_group0Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.
Default:0
C++ Type:int
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first).
