29.37.1 Density(...)

This method creates a Density object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].Density
session.odbs[name].materials[name].Density

Required argument

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

distributionType

A SymbolicConstant specifying how the density is distributed spatially. Possible values are UNIFORM, ANALYTICAL_FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.

fieldName

A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField or DiscreteField object associated with this material option. The fieldName argument applies only when distributionType=ANALYTICAL_FIELD or distributionType=DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is an empty string.

Table data

The mass density.
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 Density object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

29.37.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the Density object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Density method.

Return value

None

Exceptions

RangeError.

29.37.3 Members

The Density object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Density method.
