PiecewiseBilinear

Interpolates values from a csv file

Description

The PiecewiseBilinear function reads a csv file and interpolates values based on the data in the file. The interpolation is based on x-y pairs. If axis is given, time is used as the y index. Either xaxis or yaxis or both may be given. Time is used as the other index if one of them is not given. If radius is given, xaxis and yaxis are used to orient a cylindrical coordinate system, and the x-y pair used in the query will be the radial coordinate and time.

    y = '0 1 3'
    z = '0 0 0 0 1 3 0 5 7'
    axis = 0

Input Parameters

  • scale_factor1Scale factor to be applied to the axis, yaxis, or xaxis values

    Default:1

    C++ Type:double

    Description:Scale factor to be applied to the axis, yaxis, or xaxis values

  • yaxis-1The coordinate used for y-axis data (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

    Default:-1

    C++ Type:int

    Description:The coordinate used for y-axis data (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

  • data_fileFile holding csv data for use with PiecewiseBilinear

    C++ Type:FileName

    Description:File holding csv data for use with PiecewiseBilinear

  • xaxis-1The coordinate used for x-axis data (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

    Default:-1

    C++ Type:int

    Description:The coordinate used for x-axis data (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

  • radialFalseSet to true if you want to interpolate along a radius rather that along a specific axis, and note that you have to define xaxis and yaxis in the input file

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Description:Set to true if you want to interpolate along a radius rather that along a specific axis, and note that you have to define xaxis and yaxis in the input file

  • yThe y abscissa values

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:The y abscissa values

  • xThe x abscissa values

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:The x abscissa values

  • zThe ordinate values

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:The ordinate values

  • axis-1The axis used (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

    Default:-1

    C++ Type:int

    Description:The axis used (0, 1, or 2 for x, y, or z).

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.
