GhostingAux

Colors the elements ghosted to the chosen PID.

Description

GhostingAux allows you to visualize what the current algebraic and geomtric ghosting functors (and RelationshipManagers) are going to do. This is useful in tracking down both under and over-ghosting.

At any one time it will only show you the ghosted elements for one processor ID.

Normally, this class shouldn't be used directly. Instead set it up through the (DisplayGhostingAction.md).

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    Description:Whether or not to include local elements as part of the ghosting set

Optional Parameters

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

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Options:

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

  • 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.
