XFEMEqualValueAtInterface

enforce a same value on both sides of the interface.

Description

The XFEMEqualValueAtInterface enforces $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-a63b89d8-0607-43aa-90e2-4ff497ac577e");katex.render("u_{\\Gamma^+} = u_{\\Gamma^-}= a", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ at the interface using a penalty approach.

Description:The name of the variable that this constraint is applied to.
alphaPenalty parameter in penalty formulation.
C++ Type:double
Options:
Description:Penalty parameter in penalty formulation.
valuePrescribed value at the interface.
C++ Type:double
Options:
Description:Prescribed value at the interface.

Required Parameters

geometric_cut_userobjectName of GeometricCutUserObject associated with this constraint.
C++ Type:UserObjectName
Options:
Description:Name of GeometricCutUserObject associated with this constraint.
execute_onLINEARThe 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.
Default:LINEAR
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Options:NONE INITIAL LINEAR NONLINEAR TIMESTEP_END TIMESTEP_BEGIN FINAL CUSTOM
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.
interface_id0The id of the interface.
Default:0

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.
