Description

I'm solving a problem with a known adjoint solution. I was wondering if it would be possible/desirable to provide an interface to supply adjoint solutions, rather request the physics model to solve for them.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the physics model currently solves for adjoint solutions and identify the entry point where a caller could provide a known solution. Clarify the intended interface and behavior for supplied versus computed solutions before examining the relevant finite-element and thermomechanical workflows. Done means the accepted design is documented and the interface requirements are testable.
