FunctionPresetBC

The same as FunctionDirichletBC except the value is applied before the solve begins

Description

The FunctionPresetBC takes the same inputs as FunctionDirichletBC and also acts as a Dirichlet boundary condition. However, the implementation is slightly different. FunctionPresetBC causes the value of the boundary condition to be applied before the solve begins where FunctionDirichletBC enforces the boundary condition as the solve progresses. In certain situations, one is better than another.

Example Input Syntax


[BCs]
  active = 'left right'

  [./left]
    type = FunctionPresetBC
    variable = u
    boundary = 3
    function = left
  [../]

  [./right]
    type = FunctionPresetBC
    variable = u
    boundary = 1
    function = right
  [../]
[]

Input Parameters

functionThe forcing function.
C++ Type:FunctionName
Description:The forcing function.
variableThe name of the variable that this boundary condition applies to
C++ Type:NonlinearVariableName
Description:The name of the variable that this boundary condition applies to
boundaryThe list of boundary IDs from the mesh where this boundary condition applies
C++ Type:std::vector
Description:The list of boundary IDs from the mesh where this boundary condition applies

Required Parameters

save_inThe name of auxiliary variables to save this BC's residual contributions to. Everything about that variable must match everything about this variable (the type, what blocks it's on, etc.)
C++ Type:std::vector
Description:The name of auxiliary variables to save this BC's residual contributions to. Everything about that variable must match everything about this variable (the type, what blocks it's on, etc.)
diag_save_inThe name of auxiliary variables to save this BC's diagonal jacobian contributions to. Everything about that variable must match everything about this variable (the type, what blocks it's on, etc.)
C++ Type:std::vector
Description:The name of auxiliary variables to save this BC's diagonal jacobian contributions to. Everything about that variable must match everything about this variable (the type, what blocks it's on, etc.)

Optional Parameters

control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector
Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
seed0The seed for the master random number generator
Default:0
C++ Type:unsigned int
Description:The seed for the master random number generator
implicitTrueDetermines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Description:Determines whether this object is calculated using an implicit or explicit form
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
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.
