TransformGenerator

Applies a linear transform to the entire mesh.

Overview

The Transform MeshGenerator applies one of three linear transformations (TRANSLATE, ROTATE, or SCALE) to the entire mesh. In addition, the following specific translations are available:

  • TRANSLATE_CENTER_ORIGIN: Translates the center of the mesh to be at the origin

  • TRANSLATE_MIN_ORIGIN: Translates the minimum of the mesh to be at the origin

Several independent modifiers may be executed in a specific order to perform more complex transformations. This class simply calls through to the methods in libMesh's MeshTools::Modification namespace.

Input Parameters

  • inputThe mesh we want to modify

    C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName

    Controllable:No

    Description:The mesh we want to modify

  • transformThe type of transformation to perform (TRANSLATE, TRANSLATE_CENTER_ORIGIN, TRANSLATE_MIN_ORIGIN, ROTATE, SCALE)

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:TRANSLATE, TRANSLATE_CENTER_ORIGIN, TRANSLATE_MIN_ORIGIN, ROTATE, SCALE

    Controllable:No

    Description:The type of transformation to perform (TRANSLATE, TRANSLATE_CENTER_ORIGIN, TRANSLATE_MIN_ORIGIN, ROTATE, SCALE)

Required Parameters

  • show_infoFalseWhether or not to show mesh info after generating the mesh (bounding box, element types, sidesets, nodesets, subdomains, etc)

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether or not to show mesh info after generating the mesh (bounding box, element types, sidesets, nodesets, subdomains, etc)

  • vector_valueThe value to use for the transformation. When using TRANSLATE or SCALE, the xyz coordinates are applied in each direction respectively. When using ROTATE, the values are interpreted as the Euler angles phi, theta and psi given in degrees.

    C++ Type:libMesh::VectorValue<double>

    Controllable:No

    Description:The value to use for the transformation. When using TRANSLATE or SCALE, the xyz coordinates are applied in each direction respectively. When using ROTATE, the values are interpreted as the Euler angles phi, theta and psi given in degrees.

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

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

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
