===== Solver ComputeNormal =====
==== General Informations ====
* **Solver Fortran File:** ''ComputeNormal.f90''
* **Solver Name:** ''ComputeNormal''
* **Required Output Variable(s):** default is ''Normal Vector''
* **Required Input Variable(s):** None
* **Optional Output Variable(s):** None
* **Optional Input Variable(s):** None
==== General Description ====
Solver for computing nodal normal vectors on boundaries based on an averaged value of the adjacent elements. Mind that in parallel computations that needs halo-elements, such that cross-partition information is available.
==== SIF contents ====
The required keywords in the SIF file for this solver are:
Solver 1
Exec Solver = "Before Simulation"
Equation = "Normal vector"
Variable = "Normal Vector"
! in 3dimensional simulations we have 3 entries
Variable DOFs = 3
!NB: does not need to actually solve a matrix
! hence no BW optimization needed
Optimize Bandwidth = Logical False
Procedure = "ElmerIceSolvers" "ComputeNormalSolver"
! if set to True, all boundary normals would be computed by default
ComputeAll = Logical False
End
! on this boundary, we want the normals to be computed
Boundary Condition 1
ComputeNormal = Logical True
End
! on this boundary, we want to skip computation of the normals
! (default, but overrulled by ComputeAll = Logical True)
Boundary Condition 2
ComputeNormal = Logical False
End
==== Examples ====
A 2D example can be found in ''[ELMER_TRUNK]/elmerice/Tests/Contact''.
