AdaptivityAction

Add libMesh based adaptation schemes via the Executioner/Adaptivity input syntax.

An Adaptivity object may be specified inside the [Adaptivity] block. Markers and Indicators for adaptivity are specified within nested sub-blocks.

This action adds the algebraic and geometric relationship managers, sets the parameters of the adaptivity object and initializes it.

More information about adaptivity can be found on the Adaptivity syntax page.
