- inputThe mesh we want to modify
C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName
Controllable:No
Description:The mesh we want to modify
- new_boundaryThe names of the boundaries to create
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The names of the boundaries to create
- normalsA list of normals for which to start painting sidesets
C++ Type:std::vector<libMesh::Point>
Controllable:No
Description:A list of normals for which to start painting sidesets
SideSetsFromNormalsGenerator
Adds a new named sideset to the mesh for all faces matching the specified normal.
See also: AllSideSetsByNormalsGenerator
commentnote
If the mesh contains multiple disjoint faces with the same normal, they will all be added to the sideset.
commentnote
This will not generate internal (within the domain, on boundaries between blocks) sidesets, even if there are internal faces with the desired normal. For internal sidesets, use SideSetsAroundSubdomainGenerator with a "normal" parameter.
Input Parameters
- fixed_normalFalseThis Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:This Boolean determines whether we fix our normal or allow it to vary to "paint" around curves
- replaceFalseIf true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:If true, replace the old sidesets. If false, the current sidesets (if any) will be preserved.
- tolerance1e-05Tolerance for comparing the face nornmal
Default:1e-05
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:Tolerance for comparing the face nornmal
- variance0.1The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals
Default:0.1
C++ Type:double
Controllable:No
Description:The variance [0.0 - 1.0] allowed when comparing normals
Optional Parameters
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
