9.22 ElectricPotentialBCState object

The ElectricPotentialBCState object stores the propagating data for a electrical potential boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the ElectricPotentialBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the ElectricPotentialBC object.

The ElectricPotentialBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The ElectricPotentialBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.22.1  Members

The ElectricPotentialBCState object has the following members:

magnitude

A Float specifying the electrical potential magnitude.

magnitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the electrical potential magnitude. 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

  • MODIFIED

  • DEACTIVATED

  • NO_LONGER_ACTIVE

  • TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • PROPAGATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • MODIFIED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • DEACTIVATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • BUILT_INTO_MODES

amplitude

A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the boundary condition has no amplitude reference.
