9.35 MaterialFlowBCState object

The MaterialFlowBCState object stores the propagating data for a connector material flow boundary condition in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the MaterialFlowBC object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the MaterialFlowBC object.

The MaterialFlowBCState object has no constructor or methods.

The MaterialFlowBCState object is derived from the BoundaryConditionState object.

9.35.1  Members

The MaterialFlowBCState object has the following members:

magnitude

A Float specifying the material flow magnitude.

magnitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the material flow 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.
