MeshSideSetGenerator is gone?

MOOSE Team,

"MeshSideSetGenerator" seems to be gone from the updated MOOSE.
If so, please let me know an alternative app.

Hello

We removed it as it was redundant with the LowerDBlockFromSideSetGenerator

Thank you Guillaume,

I am studying LowerDBlockFromSidesetGenerator. It seems that elements generated by LowerDBlockFromSidesetGenerator do not have shape functions.
We have been using MeshSideSetGenerator to generate one-dimension-lower finite elements where we assign the diffusion equations with source terms.
We need MeshSideSetGenerator for our model we have been developing for years.
Could you please put MeshSideSetGenerator back into MOOSE?

Hello

What do you mean they do not have shape functions?
Looking at the code, the lowerDBlockFromSidesetGenerator does the same thing but it works for distributed mesh when the other one doesnt.
It should work as is for your case. What errors are you getting?

Guillaume,

I got confused by the documentation.
I replaced MeshSideSetGenerator with LowerDBlockFromSidesetGenerator and it seems working. :)
It was too simple to believe.
I would like to thank you for your time and help.
