Description

Problem

Different material models for the spherical chamber might be useful for different simulation purposes. Currently, only one material model is implemented and if a new material is being implemented, a new block has to be implemented.

Solution

It would be useful to be able to select the appropriate material model in the input file while still using the same chamber block. This can be done by reading a string from the input file and having different materials implemented within the chamber block that are selected based on this string.

Research direction

Start by locating the spherical chamber implementation and the input-file parsing entry point; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Trace how the current material model is selected, then determine how a material-model string can select alternatives within the same chamber block. Done means the input file can choose among implemented material models without requiring separate chamber blocks, with coverage for the selection behavior.
