The ElasticFoundationState object stores the propagating data for an ElasticFoundation object. One instance of this object is created internally by the ElasticFoundation object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the ElasticFoundation object.
The ElasticFoundationState object has no constructor or methods.
The ElasticFoundationState object is derived from the InteractionState object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].steps[name].interactionStates[name]
The ElasticFoundationState object has the following members:
A Float specifying the foundation stiffness per area.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the stiffness member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the InteractionState object. Possible values are:
NOT_YET_ACTIVE
CREATED
PROPAGATED
MODIFIED
DEACTIVATED
NO_LONGER_ACTIVE
TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE
