SetupQuadratureAction

Sets the quadrature type for the simulation.

A Quadrature is specified as an object inside the [Quadrature] block with the [Executioner] block as shown below.

[Executioner<<<{"href": "../../syntax/Executioner/index.html"}>>>]
  type = Steady
  [Quadrature<<<{"href": "../../syntax/Executioner/Quadrature/index.html"}>>>]
    custom_blocks<<<{"description": "list of blocks to specify custom quadrature order"}>>> = '1 2'
    custom_orders<<<{"description": "list of quadrature orders for the blocks specified in `custom_blocks`"}>>> = 'first second'
  []
[]

This action adds the default quadrature rule to the Problem then adds custom requested quadratures in the specified blocks.

Per-block quadrature types

In addition to specifying custom quadrature orders per block via "custom_orders", it is also possible to specify a custom quadrature type per block using the "custom_types" parameter. The "custom_types" list must have the same number of entries as "custom_blocks". If "custom_types" is omitted, the global "type" is used for all custom blocks, preserving existing behaviour.

The following example specifies both a custom order and a custom quadrature type for two subdomains:


[Executioner]
  [Quadrature]
    type = GAUSS
    order = THIRD
    custom_blocks    = '2 3'
    custom_orders    = 'THIRD SECOND'
    custom_types     = 'GAUSS_LOBATTO SIMPSON'
  []
[]

More information about quadratures may be found on the Quadrature syntax documentation.
