InelasticHeatFraction(...)

This method creates an InelasticHeatFraction object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].InelasticHeatFraction
session.odbs[name].materials[name].InelasticHeatFraction

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

fraction

A Float specifying the fraction of inelastic dissipation rate that appears as a heat flux per unit volume. The fraction may include a unit conversion factor if required. Possible values are 0.0 ≤ fraction ≤ 1.0. The default value is 0.9.

Return value

An InelasticHeatFraction object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the InelasticHeatFraction object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the InelasticHeatFraction method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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