CommonOutputAction

Overview

An action, that acts when the [Outputs] block exists. It adds short-cut syntax options, such as the "exodus" parameter, as well as common parameters that are applied to all output objects. For example, the following enables two output objects and sets the output "interval" to every 10 timesteps for both objects.

[Outputs]
  exodus = true
  csv = true
  interval = 10
[]

Please refer to the Output System for more information.
