ScalarConstantIC

Initalize a scalar variable with a constant value prescribed by an input parameter.

Input Parameters

  • valueInitial value of the scalar variable

    C++ Type:double

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Initial value of the scalar variable

Required Parameters

  • stateCURRENTThis parameter is used to set old state solutions at the start of simulation. If specifying multiple states at the start of simulation, use one IC object for each state being specified. The states are CURRENT=0 OLD=1 OLDER=2. States older than 2 are not currently supported. When the user only specifies current state, the solution is copied to the old and older states, as expected. This functionality is mainly used for dynamic simulations with explicit time integration schemes, where old solution states are used in the velocity and acceleration approximations.

    Default:CURRENT

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Options:CURRENT, OLD, OLDER

    Controllable:No

    Description:This parameter is used to set old state solutions at the start of simulation. If specifying multiple states at the start of simulation, use one IC object for each state being specified. The states are CURRENT=0 OLD=1 OLDER=2. States older than 2 are not currently supported.

  • variableThe variable this initial condition is supposed to provide values for.

    C++ Type:VariableName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:The variable this initial condition is supposed to provide values for.

Optional Parameters

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

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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    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

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
