[Feature] Output key quantities on the fracture surfaces #1496

Closed jhuang2601 closed 3 years ago

jhuang2601 commented 3 years ago

What is the requested feature? Systematically output key quantities on the fracture surfaces (e.g., aperture, shear slip magnitude and stress), which are projected in the local coordinate system.

Is your request related to a specific problem? As for the following case, the relative displacement along the crack plane is difficult to compute in postprocessing: src/coreComponents/physicsSolvers/multiphysics/integratedTests/ContactMechanics_UnstructuredCrack.xml The lineout query function in Visit does not work properly as the crack surface is not a straight-line and node information is hard to track with unstructured mesh.

Additional context This request can be extended to multiple geological features (fault, fracture, folding layers....).

@jhuang2601, it seems this issue is partially resolved via our TimeHistory capabilities (which can query some temporary fields we aren't outputting by default), right? Just making a note here for future users. Could you briefly describe your solution?

We should leave this issue open, though, as I think we want a more systematic look at our fracture / fault viz data.
