Using MeshAlignmentVariableTransferMaterial in input file

[SomnusYu]

Hi all,

I'd like to use MeshAlignmentVariableTransferMaterial in the input file. But I do not know what the _mesh_alignment should be.

Or what should I change in the MeshAlignmentVariableTransferForBeesMaterial.C and .h file?

Thanks!

Hello

this is not meant to be created from an input file, but rather programmatically from a heat structure component for example
you can look at modules/thermal_hydraulics/src/components/HeatTransferFromHeatStructure1Phase.C to see how it is created and paired with a MeshAlignment object

Hi @GiudGiud,

Could you please kindly tell me how to change this material?

[GiudGiud]

You could work on retrieving that mesh alignement object programmatically if you dont want to create the Material programmatically
Unless you create the Material programmatically like the heat structure does, it will be hard to set the right _mesh_alignment parameter

What does this mean? I still do not know how to do it.

[GiudGiud]

The material takes a pointer to the meshAlignment object.
Since you cant provide the pointer, you could retrieve the object from the Problem (if it s a user object)

OK, thanks a lot!
