9.20 DisplacementBCState object

The DisplacementBCState object stores the propagating data for a displacement/rotation boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the DisplacementBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the DisplacementBC object.

The DisplacementBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The DisplacementBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

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

  • MODIFIED

  • DEACTIVATED
