The SurfaceToSurfaceExpState object stores the propagating data for a SurfaceToSurfaceContactExp object. One instance of this object is created internally by the SurfaceToSurfaceContactExp object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the SurfaceToSurfaceContactExp object.
The SurfaceToSurfaceExpState object has no constructor or methods.
The SurfaceToSurfaceExpState object is derived from the InteractionState object.
import interaction mdb.models[name].steps[name].interactionStates[name]
The SurfaceToSurfaceExpState object has the following members:
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the interactionProperty member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the contactControls member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
A String specifying the name of the ContactProperty object associated with this interaction.
A String specifying the name of the ContactControl object associated with this interaction.
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
