ElementalVariableValue

Outputs an elemental variable value at a particular location

Description

In some cases it may be of interest to output an elemental variable value (e.g., stress) at a particular location in the model. This is accomplished by using the ElementalVariableValue postprocessor.

Example Input Syntax


[Postprocessors]
  [./elem_56]
    type = ElementalVariableValue
    variable = u
    elementid = 56
  [../]

  [./elem_12]
    type = ElementalVariableValue
    variable = u
    elementid = 12
  [../]
[]

Input Parameters

variableThe variable to be monitored
C++ Type:VariableName
Description:The variable to be monitored
elementidThe ID of the element where we monitor
C++ Type:unsigned int
Description:The ID of the element where we monitor

Required Parameters

execute_onTIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed, the available options include NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM.
Default:TIMESTEP_END
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed, the available options include NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM.

Optional Parameters

enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
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.
outputsVector of output names were you would like to restrict the output of variables(s) associated with this object
C++ Type:std::vector
Description:Vector of output names were you would like to restrict the output of variables(s) associated with this object
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.
allow_duplicate_execution_on_initialFalseIn the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Description:In the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).
force_preauxFalseForces the GeneralUserObject to be executed in PREAUX
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Description:Forces the GeneralUserObject to be executed in PREAUX
