AbstractMaterial_ class is designed to handle the material properties in simulations. This class currently has following sub-classes.

You can see the structure of AbstractMaterial here.

info

AbstractMaterial_ contains materials in a vector of UserFunction. Therefore, you should know read about UserFunction before getting started with the AbstractMaterial_.

How to initiate?​

To initiate an instance of AbstractMaterial_ follow the following steps:

Step-1:​

First, we will call SetAbstractMaterialParam method.

Step-2:​

Then, we will call Initiate method.

Step-3:​

After we have initiated an instance of AbstractMaterial_, we will ADD material to it by calling AddMaterial. Note that this routine just register a material name and allocate space for defining materal as a UserFunction.

Step-4:​

After registering a material, we can get the pointer of UserFunction by calling the method GetMaterialPointer. We should initiate this pointer as described in the documentation of UserFunction.

import from toml-file

You can also initiate the material from toml configuration and by using the method called ImportFromToml

import from hdf5-file

You can also initiate the material from hdf5file by using the method called Import
