MooseVariableScalar

Moose wrapper class around scalar variables

This variable type is very useful for solving ODEs where the independent variable is time, e.g. the variable does not have any spatial dependence.

Input Parameters

  • blockThe list of block ids (SubdomainID) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Options:

    Description:The list of block ids (SubdomainID) that this object will be applied

  • components1Number of components for an array variable

    Default:1

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Options:

    Description:Number of components for an array variable

  • familySCALARSpecifies the family of FE shape functions to use for this variable.

    Default:SCALAR

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:LAGRANGE MONOMIAL HERMITE SCALAR HIERARCHIC CLOUGH XYZ SZABAB BERNSTEIN L2_LAGRANGE L2_HIERARCHIC NEDELEC_ONE LAGRANGE_VEC MONOMIAL_VEC

    Description:Specifies the family of FE shape functions to use for this variable.

  • initial_conditionSpecifies the initial condition for this variable

    C++ Type:std::vector

    Options:

    Description:Specifies the initial condition for this variable

  • orderFIRSTOrder of the FE shape function to use for this variable (additional orders not listed here are allowed, depending on the family).

    Default:FIRST

    Options:

    Description:True to make this variable an eigen variable

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:
