The TypeBCState object stores the propagating data for a predefined boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the TypeBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the TypeBC object.
The TypeBCState object has no constructor or methods.
The TypeBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.
import load mdb.models[name].steps[name].boundaryConditionStates[name]
The TypeBCState object has the following members:
A SymbolicConstant specifying the predefined boundary condition type. Possible values are XSYMM, YSYMM, ZSYMM, XASYMM, YASYMM, ZASYMM, PINNED, and ENCASTRE.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the predefined boundary condition type. The only possible value is UNCHANGED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude reference. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
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
A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the boundary condition has no amplitude reference.
