1Blurb:: 2Specify how the random field will be built: 3from a data file, from simulation 4runs, or from a covariance matrix. 5THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY. 6 7Description:: 8As part of the capability to generate a random field representation, the user 9needs to specify the data used to generate the random field representation. 10This data may reside in a data file, it may be generated by running a set of simulations and generating field responses, or it 11may be generated by a covariance matrix defined over a mesh. 12THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITY UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 13 14<b> Default Behavior </b> 15Currently, the \c build_source that is fully working is the 16\c dace_method_pointer. The others are not fully operational. 17 18 19Topics:: 20 21Examples:: 22 23 24Theory:: 25Faq:: 26See_Also:: 27
