The VelocityBCState object stores the propagating data for a velocity boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the VelocityBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the VelocityBC object.
The VelocityBCState object has no constructor or methods.
The VelocityBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

The VelocityBCState object has the following members:
A Float specifying the velocity component in the 1-direction.
A Float specifying the velocity component in the 2-direction.
A Float specifying the velocity component in the 3-direction.
A Float specifying the rotational velocity component about the 1-direction.
A Float specifying the rotational velocity component about the 2-direction.
A Float specifying the rotational velocity component about the 3-direction.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the velocity component in the 1-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the velocity component in the 2-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the velocity component in the 3-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the rotational velocity component about the 1-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the rotational velocity component about the 2-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the rotational velocity component about the 3-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.
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
