changeValuesInStep(...)

This method allows modification of contact stabilization assignments to domain pairs already defined in a given step.

Required arguments

stepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which the contact stabilization assignments are to be modified.

index

An Int specifying the position of the contact stabilization assignment whose value is to be modified.

value

A String specifying the value of the contact stabilization to be assigned to the domain pair whose index is referenced.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

appendInStep(...)

This method allows addition of contact stabilization assignments to new domain pairs in a given step.

Required arguments

stepName

A String specifying the name of the step in which new contact stabilization assignments are to be defined.

assignments

A sequence of tuples specifying the stabilizations assigned to each surface pair. Each tuple contains three entries:

  • A region object or the SymbolicConstant GLOBAL.

  • A region object or the SymbolicConstant SELF.

  • A String specifying a StdStabilization object associated with this pair of regions.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

delete(...)

The delete method allows you to delete existing contact stabilization assignments from a ContactStd object.

Required arguments

indices

A sequence of Ints specifying the index of each contact stabilization assignment to delete.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The StabilizationAssignment object has no members.
