PoreFluidExpansion(...)

This method creates a PoreFluidExpansion object.

Path

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

Required arguments

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

zero

A Float specifying the value of θ0. The default value is 0.0.

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

  • Mean coefficient of thermal expansion, α.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A PoreFluidExpansion object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the PoreFluidExpansion object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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