LevelSetProblem

This object specialize the MOOSE problem object to add a custom call to the execution of the transfers between MultiApps allowing for mesh adaptivity from the parent application to be applied to the sub-application. This is used within the level set module to allow the parent application to govern the adaptivity of the mesh for a sub-application that is performing level set reinitialization steps.

Example Syntax

The LevelSetProblem is invoked by setting the "type" parameter within the Problem of the input file.
