phaseField.getFaceValue() will return the value of all the values of the phasefield. I am trying to assign the value of each cell unit a flux that is dependent on the value of the phase variable at that particular cell.
For a square mesh, if the left side has a phasefield value = 0, the flux will be zero for that specific cell. Or if the right side has a phasefield value =1 the flux will be 1 for that specific cell. The flux for each cell unit is updated for each time step. -- Michael Johnston 812-290-1578 Purdue University Materials Science Engineering [email protected] Quoting Daniel Wheeler <[email protected]>: > > Hi Michael, > > I belive that if the "value" argument is a FaceVariable then it will > work.
