[Feature] Time history outputs in multi-region problems
What is the requested feature?
The objectPath attribute in PackCollection seems to require a full path to the object in question (objectPath="ElementRegions/ALL_TETRA/REGION_NAME"). Other things, such as FieldSpecification tend to allow a higher level path, which is then applied to its children (objectPath="ElementRegions/ALL_TETRA/").
For problems with many regions, this can require the user to duplicate the PackCollection, TimeHistory, and Events entries for each region:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Problem xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="/usr/workspace/uwisc/GEOSX/src/coreComponents/fileIO/schema/schema.xsd">
<Outputs>
<TimeHistory
name="pressure_a"
sources="{ /Tasks/pressure_a }"
filename="well_pressure_a"/>
<TimeHistory
name="pressure_b"
sources="{ /Tasks/pressure_b }"
filename="well_pressure_b"/>
...
</Outputs>
<Tasks>
<PackCollection
name="pressure_a"
objectPath="ElementRegions/ALL_TETRA/ALL_TETRA"
fieldName="pressure"
setNames="{ $monitor_wells$ }"/>
<PackCollection
name="pressure_b"
objectPath="ElementRegions/ALL_TETRA/FAULT_RFF_TETRA"
fieldName="pressure"
setNames="{ $monitor_wells$ }"/>
...
</Tasks>
<Events>
<PeriodicEvent
name="wellPressureCollection">
<PeriodicEvent
name="pressure_a"
target="/Tasks/pressure_a"/>
<PeriodicEvent
name="pressure_b"
target="/Tasks/pressure_b"/>
...
</PeriodicEvent>
<PeriodicEvent
name="wellPressureOutput"
timeFrequency="$history_frequency$"
targetExactTimestep="0">
<PeriodicEvent
name="pressure_a"
target="/Outputs/pressure_a"/>
<PeriodicEvent
name="pressure_b"
target="/Outputs/pressure_b"/>
...
</PeriodicEvent>
</Events>
</Problem>
I'm not sure if there is a reason for this behavior, but it would be great if it were consistent with the other uses of objectPath
