FunctorElementalAux
Evaluates a functor (variable, function or functor material property) on the current element or quadrature point.
Overview
This object populates an elemental auxiliary variable by evaluating a functor with a cell-center/elemental or quadrature-point based argument. This functor may be a material property, a function or another variable. A cell-center/elemental argument should be used when a cell-averaged quantity (like for finite volume computations) is desired. Cell-center/elemental vs. quadrature-point based evaluations are controlled by the use_qp_arg boolean parameter. By default the parameter is false.
commentnote
The version of this auxiliary kernel for automatic differentiation (AD) functors (in particular AD material properties) is ADFunctorElementalAux.
Example input syntax
In this example, we use FunctorElementalAux to convert some material properties functors, defined by the fluid properties material, to auxiliary variables, to examine them in an Exodus output.

Input Parameters
- blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
- check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh
Default:True
