MFEMVariable
Summary
Class for adding MFEM variables to the problem (mfem::ParGridFunctions).
Overview
MFEMVariable defines a finite element variable (mfem::ParGridFunction) with respect to a finite element space created on the problem's mesh. Multiple MFEMVariable objects can be created with respect to the same MFEMFESpace.
Example Input File Syntax
Preferentially, users should create an MFEMVariable with respect to an MFEMFESpace:
[Problem]
type = MFEMProblem
[]
[FESpaces]
[H1FESpace]
type = MFEMScalarFESpace
fec_type = H1
fec_order = FIRST
[]
[HCurlFESpace]
type = MFEMVectorFESpace
fec_type = ND
fec_order = FIRST
[]
[]
[Variables]
[concentration]
type = MFEMVariable
fespace = H1FESpace
[]
[]
However, if a user creates a MOOSE variable in an MFEMProblem, then Platypus should automatically create the corresponding MFEMFESpace and MFEMVariable for that type:
[Problem]
type = MFEMProblem
[]
[Variables]
[scalar_var]
family = LAGRANGE
order = FIRST
[]
[vector_var]
family = LAGRANGE_VEC
order = FIRST
[]
[]
Input Parameters
- arrayFalseTrue to make this variable a array variable regardless of number of components. If 'components' > 1, this will automatically be set to true.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:True to make this variable a array variable regardless of number of components. If 'components' > 1, this will automatically be set to true.

Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

- disable_p_refinementFalseTrue to disable p-refinement for this variable.
