49.10 EmagTimeHarmonicStep object

The EmagTimeHarmonicStep object is used to calculate the electromagnetic response of the system to harmonic excitation of the model.

The EmagTimeHarmonicStep object is derived from the AnalysisStep object.

49.10.1 EmagTimeHarmonicStep(...)

This method creates a EmagTimeHarmonicStep object.

Path
mdb.models[name].EmagTimeHarmonicStep

Required arguments

name

A String specifying the repository key.

previous

A String specifying the name of the previous step. The new step appears after this step in the list of analysis steps.

frequencyRange

Optional arguments

description

A String specifying a description of the new step. The default value is an empty string.

factorization

A SymbolicConstant specifying whether damping terms are to be ignored so that a real, rather than a complex, system matrix is factored. Possible values are REAL_ONLY and COMPLEX. The default value is COMPLEX.

Return value

An EmagTimeHarmonicStep object.

Exceptions

RangeError.


49.10.2 setValues(...)

This method modifies the EmagTimeHarmonicStep object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the EmagTimeHarmonicStep method, except for the name argument.

Return value

None

Exceptions

RangeError.


49.10.3  Members

The EmagTimeHarmonicStep object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the EmagTimeHarmonicStep method.

In addition, the EmagTimeHarmonicStep object can have the following members:

matrixStorage

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of matrix storage. Possible values are SYMMETRIC, UNSYMMETRIC, and SOLVER_DEFAULT. The default value is SOLVER_DEFAULT.

subdivideUsingEigenfrequencies

A Boolean specifying whether to subdivide each frequency range using the eigenfrequencies of the system. The default value is OFF.

explicit

A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the step has an explicit procedure type (procedureType=ANNEAL, DYNAMIC_EXPLICIT, or DYNAMIC_TEMP_DISPLACEMENT).

perturbation

A Boolean specifying whether the step has a perturbation procedure type.

nonmechanical
