- blockThe blocks around which to create sidesets
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The blocks around which to create sidesets
- inputThe mesh we want to modify
C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName
Controllable:No
Description:The mesh we want to modify
- new_boundaryThe list of boundary IDs to create on the supplied subdomain
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundary IDs to create on the supplied subdomain
SideSetsAroundSubdomainGenerator
Adds element faces that are on the exterior of the given block to the sidesets specified
Overview
By default, SideSetsAroundSubdomainGenerator
creates a sideset (with ID defined by the user) around an associated block ID. Multiple sidesets over multiple blocks can be defined at once.
Optional parameters allow more specific behavior:
A normal vector can be defined (using
normal
) such that only faces whose outward facing normal is equivalent (or within a specified tolerancenormal_tol
) is added to the sideset.replace
is a boolean parameter that sets whether any old sidesets should be replaced or preserved (default is preservation).fixed_normal
is a boolean parameter inherited fromSideSetsGeneratorBase
that sets whether a sideset defined on a qualifying face is to be "painted" onto adjacent faces (default = False). This allows sidesets for slightly curved boundaries to be more easily defined. Fixing the normal (settingfixed_normal = True
) disables this behavior.
Input Parameters
- external_onlyFalseOnly apply the sideset to external boundaries
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Only apply the sideset to external boundaries
- fixed_normalFalseThis Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:This Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
- normalIf supplied, only faces with normal equal to this, up to normal_tol, will be added to the sidesets specified
C++ Type:libMesh::Point
Controllable:No
Description:If supplied, only faces with normal equal to this, up to normal_tol, will be added to the sidesets specified
- normal_tol0.1If normal is supplied then faces are only added if face_normal.normal_hat >= 1 - normal_tol, where normal_hat = normal/|normal|
Default:0.1
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:If normal is supplied then faces are only added if face_normal.normal_hat >= 1 - normal_tol, where normal_hat = normal/|normal|
- replaceFalseIf true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:If true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
- variance0.1The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals
Default:0.1
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals
Optional Parameters

Controllable:No
Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
- enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
