9.39 SecondaryBaseBC object

The SecondaryBaseBC object stores the data for a secondary base boundary condition.

The SecondaryBaseBC object is derived from the BoundaryCondition object.

Access
import load
mdb.models[name].boundaryConditions[name]


9.39.1 SecondaryBaseBC(...)

This method creates a SecondaryBaseBC object.

Path
mdb.models[name].SecondaryBaseBC

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the boundary condition repository key.

createStepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which the boundary condition is created.

regions

A RegionArray object specifying the region to which the boundary condition is applied. Note that the usual region is ignored. The default value is MODEL.

dofs

A sequence of sequences of Ints specifying the constrained degrees-of-freedom.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

A SecondaryBaseBC object.

Exceptions

None.


9.39.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the data for an existing SecondaryBaseBC object in the step where it is created.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the SecondaryBaseBC method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.


9.39.3 setValuesInStep(...)

This method modifies the propagating data for an existing SecondaryBaseBC object in the specified step.

Required argument

stepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which the boundary condition is modified.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

None

Exceptions

None.


9.39.4  Members

The SecondaryBaseBC object can have the following members:

name

A String specifying the boundary condition repository key.

dofs

A tuple of tuples of Ints specifying the constrained degrees-of-freedom.

regions

A RegionArray object specifying the region to which the boundary condition is applied. Note that the usual region is ignored. The default value is MODEL.

category

A SymbolicConstant specifying the category of the boundary condition. Possible values are MECHANICAL and THERMAL.

region

A Region object specifying the region to which the boundary condition is applied.

localCsys

None or a DatumCsys object specifying the local coordinate system of the boundary condition's degrees of freedom. If localCsys=None, the degrees of freedom are defined in the global coordinate system. The default value is None.
