CoupledODETimeDerivative

Residual contribution of ODE from the time derivative of a coupled variable.

The CoupledODETimeDerivative is similar to the ODETimeDerivative scalar kernel, except that the derivative acts on a different variable than the ODE is solved for.

Example input syntax

In this example, the scalar variables f and f_times_mult are the solutions to the coupled ODE problem:

The time derivative term for the first equation is added using a CoupledODETimeDerivative scalar kernel, as the first equation is set to have f as its nonlinear variable, even though f does not appear in it!
