CauchyStressFromNEML2UO

To use this object, you need to have the NEML2 library installed. Refer to the documentation for guidance on how to enable it. To build this library MOOSE must be configured with LIBTORCH support! (Original description: Gather input variables required for an objective stress integration from all quadrature points. The batched input vector is sent through a NEML2 material model to perform the constitutive update.)

Description

This object uses the specified NEML2 material model to perform mesh-wise batched material update. The input material properties and variables at all quadrature points on the mesh are first gathered together, then the NEML2 material model is used to map the inputs (strain, temperature, time, etc.) to the outputs (stress etc.). The material model's forward operator is defined in the NEML2 input file. The outputs are gathered into an internal data structure, and a CauchyStressFromNEML2Receiver object is required to assign the outputs to their corresponding material properties.
