Re: [Libmesh-users] How to define Neuman Boundary Condition in libMesh

[Vikram G. <vik...@gm...>]

Hello Nikrouz,
                      You can use the side_time_derivative method to
specify a Neumann boundary. The ElasticitySystem::side_time_derivative
from fem_system_ex3, which applies a traction force at the boundary is
an illustration of this
(https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/blob/master/examples/fem_system/fem_system_ex3/elasticity_system.C).

Adjoints example 1 and 2 provide examples of enforcing penalty
boundary conditions (which can be seen as a type of forcing) using
side_constraint
(https://github.com/libMesh/libmesh/blob/master/examples/adjoints/adjoints_ex1/L-shaped.C).

Thanks.
