    77AstroBEAR uses objects to encapsulate data about certain features of the problem.  At the user level, these objects simplify setups by making it easier to manage and manipulate certain physical features.  At the developer level, they create consistency by providing a template for new physics.

    9 Objects can be classified as one of three types:
     9Objects can be classified as one of four types:
    1010
    1111 * ''Initial Condition / Instantaneous sources'':  These objects create geometric features during problem setups.  Unless they are somehow maintained, these objects can be altered or even dispersed by the dynamics of the simulation.
     
    1313  * [UniformRegions Uniform Regions]--regions where the hydrodynamic variables are homogenous (no gradients, no variations).
    1414  * [SplitRegions Split Regions]
     15  * [ClumpObjects Clumps]
    1516  * [OutflowObjects Outflows]
    16   * [ClumpObjects Clumps]
    17   * [PerturbationObjects Perturbations]
    18 
     17  * [CollidingFlows Colliding Flows]
    1918
    2019 * ''Boundary Conditions'':  Objects that enforce special conditions on the boundaries of a domain.
     
    3130 * [ShapeObjects Shapes] - Contains routines for orienting various physical objects
    3231 * [InterfaceObjects Interfaces] - Useful for dividing a region into two pieces based on a perturbed interface
     32 * [PerturbationObjects Perturbations] - Useful for specifying a volume filling perturbation as a series expansion.
