The GapElectricalConductance object specifies electrical conductance for a contact interaction property.
import interaction mdb.models[name].interactionProperties[name].electricalConductance
This method creates a GapElectricalConductance object.
mdb.models[name].interactionProperties[name].GapElectricalConductance
Required arguments
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the electrical conductance is defined. Possible values are TABULAR and USER_DEFINED. The default value is TABULAR.
A Boolean specifying whether to use clearance-dependent data. The default value is ON.
A Boolean specifying whether to use pressure-dependent data. The default value is OFF.
A Boolean specifying whether to use temperature-dependent data with clearance dependency. The default value is OFF.
An Int specifying the number of field variables to use with clearance dependency. The default value is 0.
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying clearance dependency data. The items in the table data are described below.
A Boolean specifying whether to use temperature-dependent data with pressure dependency. The default value is OFF.
An Int specifying the number of field variables to use with pressure dependency. The default value is 0.
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying pressure dependency data. The items in the table data are described below.
Table data
The clearanceDepTable data specify the following:
Conductivity.
Clearance.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Conductivity.
Pressure.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Return value
A GapElectricalConductance object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the GapElectricalConductance object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
