9.7 AcousticPressureBCState object

The AcousticPressureBCState object stores the propagating data for an acoustic pressure boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the AcousticPressureBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the AcousticPressureBC object.

The AcousticPressureBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The AcousticPressureBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.7.1  Members

The AcousticPressureBCState object has the following members:

magnitude

A Float specifying the acoustic pressure magnitude.

magnitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the acoustic pressure magnitude. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.

amplitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude reference. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, FREED, and MODIFIED.

status

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the BoundaryConditionState object. Possible values are:

  • NOT_YET_ACTIVE

  • CREATED

  • PROPAGATED

  • MODIFIED

  • DEACTIVATED

  • NO_LONGER_ACTIVE

  • TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • PROPAGATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • MODIFIED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • DEACTIVATED_FROM_BASE_STATE

  • BUILT_INTO_MODES

amplitude

A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the boundary condition has no amplitude reference.
