The Velocity object stores the data for an initial velocity predefined field.
The Velocity object is derived from the PredefinedField object.
import load mdb.models[name].predefinedFields[name]
This method creates a Velocity predefined field object.
mdb.models[name].Velocity
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A Region object specifying the region to which the predefined field is applied.
A Float specifying the first component of the velocity.
A Float specifying the second component of the velocity.
A Float specifying the third component of the velocity.
A Float specifying the angular velocity.
A sequence of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z- coordinates of the starting point of the axis about which omega is defined.
A sequence of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z- coordinates of the end point of the axis about which omega is defined.
Optional arguments
A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField object associated with this predefined field. The field argument applies only when distributionType=FIELD_ANALYTICAL. The default value is an empty string.
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the load is uniform. Possible values are MAGNITUDE and FIELD_ANALYTICAL. The default value is MAGNITUDE.
Return value
A Velocity object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the Velocity object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Velocity method, except for the name argument.
Return value
Exceptions
The Velocity object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Velocity method.
