Material Properties
Material Properties is used to manage various physics for computing derived quantities, that are not directly evolved, but that can be calculated from the rest of the state vector.
Info
Currently the equation of state is the only implemented material property.
Species
Materials in the simulation can be composed of species, potentially each with their own material properties. Species are declared as a comma separated list of strings in the input block, and will correspondingly generate a species input block for each species in the list.
Warning
Currently only the single species is supported.
