27.68 SurfaceCurrentState object

The SurfaceCurrentState object stores the propagating data of a surface current in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the SurfaceCurrent object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the SurfaceCurrent object.

The SurfaceCurrentState object has no constructor or methods.

The SurfaceCurrentState object is derived from the LoadState object.

27.68.1  Members

The SurfaceCurrentState object has the following members:

magnitude

A Float specifying the load magnitude.

magnitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the load magnitude. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.

amplitudeState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.

status

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the LoadState object. Possible values are:

  • NOT_YET_ACTIVE

  • CREATED

  • PROPAGATED

  • MODIFIED

  • DEACTIVATED

  • NO_LONGER_ACTIVE

  • TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE

  • BUILT_INTO_BASE_STATE

amplitude

A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the load has no amplitude reference.
