9.16 ConnVelocityBCState object

The ConnVelocityBCState object stores the propagating data for a velocity boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the ConnVelocityBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the ConnVelocityBC object.

The ConnVelocityBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The ConnVelocityBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.16.1  Members

The ConnVelocityBCState object has the following members:

v1

A Float specifying the velocity component in the connector's local 1-direction.

v2

A Float specifying the velocity component in the connector's local 2-direction.

v3

A Float specifying the velocity component in the connector's local 3-direction.

vr1

A Float specifying the rotational velocity component in the connector's local 4-direction.

vr2

A Float specifying the rotational velocity component in the connector's local 5-direction.

vr3

A Float specifying the rotational velocity component in the connector's local 6-direction.

v1State

vr3State

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the rotational velocity component in the connector's local 6–direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.

amplitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude reference. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.

status

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the BoundaryConditionState object. Possible values are:

  • NOT_YET_ACTIVE

  • CREATED

  • PROPAGATED
