SideSetsFromNormals

This MeshModifier adds a sideset to the mesh on every element face with the specified normal. If the mesh contains multiple disjoint faces with the same normal, they will all be added to the sideset.

See also AddAllSideSetsByNormals

Adds a new named sideset to the mesh for all faces matching the specified normal.

Input Parameters

  • new_boundaryThe name of the boundary to create

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:The name of the boundary to create

  • normalsA list of normals for which to start painting sidesets

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:A list of normals for which to start painting sidesets

Required Parameters

  • force_prepareFalseNormally all MeshModifiers run before the mesh is prepared for use. This flag can be set on an individual modifier to force preperation between modifiers where they might be needed.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Description:Normally all MeshModifiers run before the mesh is prepared for use. This flag can be set on an individual modifier to force preperation between modifiers where they might be needed.

  • depends_onThe MeshModifiers that this modifier relies upon (i.e. must execute before this one)

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Description:The MeshModifiers that this modifier relies upon (i.e. must execute before this one)

  • fixed_normalFalseThis Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Description:This Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves

  • variance0.1The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals

    Default:0.1

    C++ Type:double

    Description:The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals

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.
