9.30 FluidInletOutletBCState object

The FluidInletOutletBCState object stores the propagating data of a fluid inlet/outlet boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the FluidInletOutletBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the FluidInletOutletBC object.

The FluidInletOutletBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The FluidInletOutletBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.
