CircleCutUserObject

Creates a UserObject for circular cuts on 3D meshes for XFEM

Overview

The CircleCutUserObject defines the boundary of a circular cut for XFEM to make on a 3 dimensional mesh. The user enters three points in the cut_data parameter in x, y, and z coordinates: first the center point of the circle, followed by two points on the boundary of the circle. The object calculates the radius and angle of the circle (with respect to the x-y plane), verifies that the points define a circle (rather than an ellipse), and has logic to determine if a given point is inside the cut plane.

Optional Parameters

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
Options:
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).
control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
