Syntax of initial conditions in input files

[Anil Kunwar]

Hi All,

I have created and compiled newt app (https://github.com/anilkunwar/newt) with

ALL_MODULES :=yes.

Now, when I run an input file with 

[ICs]
  [./c1_IC]
    type = SpecifiedSmoothCircleIC
    x_positions =  '0 50' #'25.0e3 45.0e3 75.0e3'
    y_positions =   '20 20' #'65.0e3 75.0e3 68.0e3'
    z_positions = '0.0 0.0'     #'0.0 0.0 0.0'
    radii = '20 20'  #'5.0e3 15.0e3 8.0e3'
    invalue = 1.0
    outvalue = 0.0
    int_width = '5' #'1.0e3 10.0e3 10.0e3'
    variable = c
  [../]

the following error occurs.

*** ERROR ***
A 'SpecifiedSmoothCircleIC' is not a registered object.


If you are trying to find this object in a dynamically linked library, make sure that
the library can be found either in your "Problem/library_path" parameter or in the
MOOSE_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Is there any change in syntax with respect to initial conditions associated with individual modules or with respect to registration in newtApp.C ?

It used to run with my older app danphe (https://github.com/anilkunwar/danphe) created 4 years ago.

Yours Sincerely,

Anil Kunwar

Hi All,

I found that this all happened due to inconsistency in the registration of Moose objects in recently created ''newt'" app.

Previously, I used to register MyMooseObject with danpheApp.C (./danphe/src/base/danpheApp.C) of "danphe " application created 4 years ago.

Now, with the syntax change in registration, I have to register each moose objects in their corresponding .C files (e.g. MyMooseObject in MyMooseObject.C) of newt Application.

registerMooseObject("ExampleApp", ExampleConvection);

in https://github.com/idaholab/moose/blob/devel/examples/ex02_kernel/src/kernels/ExampleConvection.C

The example: https://www.mooseframework.org/moose/examples/ex02_kernel.html has helped me a lot. 

Applying these changes and updates in the registry of Moose objects in newt, the abovementioned problem is solved.

Yours Sincerely,

Anil Kunwar

Hi All,

Structure of danpheApp.C created 4 years ago.

...

void
DanpheApp::registerObjects(Factory & factory)
{
    //Kernel
    registerKernel(CHConvection);
   registerKernel(SurfaceTension);
 ...  
}
...

There is no  Registry::registerObjectsTo(factory, {"danpheApp"}); and so individual Moose Objects have to be  registered directly within danpheApp.C.  

Structure of newtApp.C created recently.

...

void
newtApp::registerObjects(Factory & factory)
{
    Registry::registerObjectsTo(factory, {"newtApp"});
    //Kernels below should be registered to registerMooseObject in the respective .C files
  //registerKernel(CHConvection);
  //registerKernel(SurfaceTension);
}
...

The MooseObjects or kernels , CHConvection and SurfaceTension , should be registered to newtApp via , registerMooseObject("newtApp",  CHConvection); and registerMooseObject("newtApp",  SurfaceTension); respectively in /src/kernel/CHConvection.C and /src/kernel/SurfaceTension.C respectively.  Registry::registerObjectsTo(factory, {"newtApp"}); has enabled the subsequent registration in newtApp.

Yours Sincerely,

Anil Kunwar
