FieldOutputRequestState object

The FieldOutputRequestState object stores the propagating data of a field output request current in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the FieldOutputRequest object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the FieldOutputRequest object.

The FieldOutputRequestState object has no constructor or methods.

Members

The FieldOutputRequestState object can have the following members:

variablesState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request variables. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

frequency

The SymbolicConstant LAST_INCREMENT or an Int specifying the output frequency in increments. The default value is 1.

frequencyState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request frequency. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

modesState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request modes. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

timeInterval

The SymbolicConstant EVERY_TIME_INCREMENT or a Float specifying the time interval at which the output states are to be written. The default value is EVERY_TIME_INCREMENT.

timeIntervalState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request time interval. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

numIntervals

An Int specifying the number of intervals during the step at which output database states are to be written. The default value is 20.

numIntervalsState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

timeMarks

A Boolean specifying when to write results to the output database. The default value is OFF.

timeMarksState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

timePointState

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the field output request. Possible values are UNSET, SET, and UNCHANGED.

status

A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the FieldOutputRequestState object. Possible values are NOT_YET_ACTIVE, CREATED, PROPAGATED, MODIFIED, DEACTIVATED, NO_LONGER_ACTIVE, TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE, and INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE.

variables

A tuple of Strings specifying output request variable or component names, or the SymbolicConstant PRESELECT or ALL. PRESELECT represents all default output variables for the given step. ALL represents all valid output variables.

modes

The SymbolicConstant ALL or a tuple of Ints specifying a list of eigenmodes for which output is desired. The default value is ALL.

timePoint

A String specifying the name of a time point object used to determine which output database states are to be written. The default value is an empty string.

frequencyType

A String specifying a read-only SymbolicConstant describing which type of frequency of output is used. Possible values areFREQUENCY, NUMBER_INTERVALS, TIME_INTERVAL, TIME_POINT and MODES. The default value depends on the procedure. The default value is an empty string.
