BoundingBoxIC

BoundingBoxIC allows setting the initial condition of a value inside and outside of a specified box. The box is aligned with the x, y, z axes and is specified by passing in the x, y, z coordinates of the bottom left point and the top right point. Each of the coordinates of the "bottom_left" point MUST be less than those coordinates in the "top_right" point.

When setting the initial condition, if bottom_left <= Point <= top_right then the "inside" value is used. Otherwise the "outside" value is used.

commentnote

When using this IC, only a single bounding box my be specified within the domain. If multiple bounding boxes are needed, this capability is implemented in the phase_field module as MultiBoundingBoxIC.
