9.44 TemperatureBCState object

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

The TemperatureBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The TemperatureBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.44.1  Members

The TemperatureBCState object has the following members:

magnitude

A Float specifying the temperature magnitude.

magnitudeState

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

dofState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the dof member. Possible values are SET and UNCHANGED.

dof

A tuple of Ints specifying the degrees of freedom to which the boundary condition is applied.

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.
