Generalized Plane Strain Reference Residual

Generalized Plane Strain Reference Residual Scalar Kernel

Description

The AuxScalarKernel GeneralizedPlaneStrainReferenceResidual retrieves and stores a reference residual value from GeneralizedPlaneStrainUserObject.

Example Input syntax

Input Parameters

generalized_plane_strainThe name of the GeneralizedPlaneStrainUserObject
C++ Type:UserObjectName
Controllable:No
Description:The name of the GeneralizedPlaneStrainUserObject
variableThe name of the variable that this kernel operates on
C++ Type:AuxVariableName
Controllable:No
Description:The name of the variable that this kernel operates on

Required Parameters

execute_onLINEARThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed, the available options include NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_END, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM, ALWAYS.
Default:LINEAR
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Options:NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_END, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM, ALWAYS
Controllable:No
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed, the available options include NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_END, MULTIAPP_FIXED_POINT_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM, ALWAYS.
scalar_out_of_plane_strain_indexThe index number of scalar_out_of_plane_strain this kernel acts on
C++ Type:unsigned int
Controllable:No
Description:The index number of scalar_out_of_plane_strain this kernel acts on

Optional Parameters

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
Controllable:Yes
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
