Crack Front Data

Determines which nodes are along the crack front

Description

This object is a utility function used to output values of nodal variables at nodes along a crack front used in a fracture domain integral calculation. This is useful for tying information about solution variables to the computed fracture integrals at specific points. The definition of the crack points must be provided using a CrackFrontDefinition object, which is typically set up automatically using a DomainIntegralAction.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    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.

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

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • execution_order_group0Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.

    Default:0

    C++ Type:int

    Controllable:No

    Description:Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.
