MultiAppPostprocessorInterpolationTransfer

Transfer postprocessor data from sub-application into field data on the master application.

Overview

Performs a transfer of a PostProcessor value from sub-applications to a field variable on the master application using interpolation based on the location of each sub-application.

Example Input File Syntax

The following input file snippet demonstrates the use of the MultiAppPostprocessorInterpolationTransfer to interpolate the average value from two sub-applications to a field variable in the master application.

Required Parameters

  • check_multiapp_execute_onTrueWhen false the check between the multiapp and transfer execute on flags is not preformed.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    Description:Whether or not to use the displaced mesh for the source mesh.

  • displaced_target_meshFalseWhether or not to use the displaced mesh for the target mesh.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    Description:Whether or not to use the displaced mesh for the target mesh.

  • execute_onSAME_AS_MULTIAPPThe 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, SAME_AS_MULTIAPP.

    Default:SAME_AS_MULTIAPP

    C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum

    Options:NONE, INITIAL, LINEAR, NONLINEAR, TIMESTEP_END, TIMESTEP_BEGIN, FINAL, CUSTOM, SAME_AS_MULTIAPP

    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, SAME_AS_MULTIAPP.

  • interp_typeinverse_distanceThe algorithm to use for interpolation.

    Default:inverse_distance

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:inverse_distance, radial_basis

    Description:The algorithm to use for interpolation.

  • num_points3The number of nearest points to use for interpolation.

    Default:3

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Options:

    Description:The number of nearest points to use for interpolation.

  • power2The polynomial power to use for calculation of the decay in the interpolation.

    Default:2

    C++ Type:double

    Options:

    Description:The polynomial power to use for calculation of the decay in the interpolation.

  • radius-1Radius to use for radial_basis interpolation. If negative then the radius is taken as the max distance between points.

    Default:-1

    C++ Type:double

    Options:

    Description:Radius to use for radial_basis interpolation. If negative then the radius is taken as the max distance between points.

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Options:

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    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

    Options:

    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.
