Synopsis

OOF.Mesh.Field.Activate(mesh, field)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.Mesh.Field
  • Callback: function _activateField in module ooflib.engine.IO.meshmenu

  • Parameters:

    mesh
    Type: The path to an existing Mesh object.
    field
    Type: A Field object.

Description

This command is deprecated but will still work in scripts. New scripts should use OOF.Subproblem.Field.Activate instead.

Activating a Field on a Mesh means that the components of the Field will be found when the Mesh is solved, if the Field appears in any active Equations.

Only Fields that have been defined may be activated. Fields that have been defined but not activated are passive fields: they may still be used in active Equations, but they are treated as constants instead of as variables.
