The PorDragBodyForce object stores the data for a fluid pore drag body force load.
The PorDragBodyForce object is derived from the Load object.
import load mdb.models[name].loads[name]
This method creates a PorDragBodyForce object.
mdb.models[name].PorDragBodyForce
Required arguments
A String specifying the load repository key.
A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is created.
A Region specifying the point at which the pore drag body force value is applied.
A String specifying The name of the AnalyticalField or DiscreteField object associated with this boundary condition. The fieldName argument applies only when distributionType=FIELD or distributionType=DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is an empty string.
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the boundary condition is distributed spatially. Possible values are UNIFORM, USER_DEFINED, FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.
A Float specifying the pore drag body force value.
Optional arguments
Return value
A PorDragBodyForce object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the data for an existing PorDragBodyForce object in the step where it is created.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the PorDragBodyForce method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
This method modifies the propagating data for an existing PorDragBodyForce object in the specified step.
Required argument
A String specifying the name of the step in which the load is modified.
Optional argument
A Float specifying the pore drag body force value.
Return value
Exceptions
The PorDragBodyForce object can have the following members:
A String specifying the load repository key.
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the boundary condition is distributed spatially. Possible values are UNIFORM, USER_DEFINED, FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is UNIFORM.
A String specifying The name of the AnalyticalField or DiscreteField object associated with this boundary condition. The fieldName argument applies only when distributionType=FIELD or distributionType=DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is an empty string.
A Region object specifying the region to which the load is applied.
