Description:function expression
ParsedPostprocessor
Computes a parsed expression with post-processors
The "expression" to parse may only include other postprocessors, the time variable and constants from the input file.
commentnote
Derivatives and integrals are not natively supported by the parsing operation, unless the postprocessors in the parsed expression are already the derivatives / integrals of interest.
Example Input File Syntax
In this test input file, we compute various quantities using ParsedPostprocessors. First, we look at the ratio of two postprocessors:
[Postprocessors]
[parsed]
type = ParsedPostprocessor
expression = 'L2_norm / L1_norm'
pp_names = 'L2_norm L1_norm'
[]
[]
Then we add a time dependence to the postprocessor result:
[Postprocessors]
[parsed_with_t]
type = ParsedPostprocessor
expression = 'L2_norm + L1_norm + t'
pp_names = 'L2_norm L1_norm'
use_t = true
[]
[]
And finally we introduce constants from the input file in the parsed expression:
[Postprocessors]
[parsed_with_constants]
type = ParsedPostprocessor
expression = 'L2_norm + 3*L1_norm + mu'
pp_names = 'L2_norm L1_norm'
constant_names = 'mu'
constant_expressions = '4'
[]
[]
