25.41.1 GapElectricalConductance(...)

This method creates a GapElectricalConductance object.

Path
mdb.models[name].interactionProperties[name].GapElectricalConductance

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

definition

A SymbolicConstant specifying how the electrical conductance is defined. Possible values are TABULAR and USER_DEFINED. The default value is TABULAR.

clearanceDependency

A Boolean specifying whether to use clearance-dependent data. The default value is ON.

pressureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether to use pressure-dependent data. The default value is OFF.

temperatureDependencyC

A Boolean specifying whether to use temperature-dependent data with clearance dependency. The default value is OFF.

dependenciesC

An Int specifying the number of field variables to use with clearance dependency. The default value is 0.

clearanceDepTable

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying clearance dependency data. The items in the table data are described below.

temperatureDependencyP

A Boolean specifying whether to use temperature-dependent data with pressure dependency. The default value is OFF.

dependenciesP

An Int specifying the number of field variables to use with pressure dependency. The default value is 0.

pressureDepTable

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.

The pressureDepTable data specify the following:
  • 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

None.
