Impossible to visualize thermal conductivity and expansivity in my file

Dear developers

i’m taking back the code after some months to solve a bug in the dynamic_core function and I was testing it with my model.

I used to visualize thermal conductivity and expansivity, which are essential to track for my work, but this appears:

An error occurred in line <1435> of file </home/francesco-radica/Documenti/aspect_dynamic_core/source/postprocess/visualization.cc> in function
    void aspect::Postprocess::Visualization<dim>::parse_parameters(dealii::ParameterHandler&) [with int dim = 2]
The violated condition was: 
    deprecated_postprocessors.count(viz_name) == 0
Additional information: 
    The visualization postprocessor 'thermal conductivity' has been
    removed. Please use the 'material properties' postprocessor instead.

The point is that I did that:

    set List of output variables = material properties, nonadiabatic temperature, nonadiabatic pressure, gravity, adiabat, named additional outputs, temperature anomaly, heating, heat flux map, depth, artificial viscosity
    set Time between graphical output = 1e7
    set Output format = vtu
    set Interpolate output = true

And there is everything except my thermal conductivity and expansivity. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your help

Hi Francyrad,

Thanks for the post! Yes this is a change that was recently made to the visualization postprocessor. If you haven’t tried this already, try adding the following lines to your input file:

    set List of output variables = material properties, nonadiabatic temperature, nonadiabatic pressure, gravity, adiabat, named additional outputs, temperature anomaly, heating, heat flux map, depth, artificial viscosity
    set Time between graphical output = 1e7
    set Output format = vtu
    set Interpolate output = true
    subsection Material properties
      set List of material properties = thermal expansivity, thermal conductivity
    end

Other material properties can also be output using the parameter List of material properties, and you can find a list of these in this section of the manual.

I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Daniel
