session.odbs[name].materials[name].ElectricalConductivity

Required arguments

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

Optional arguments

type: A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of electrical conductivity. Possible values are ISOTROPIC, ORTHOTROPIC, and ANISOTROPIC. The default value is ISOTROPIC.
frequencyDependency: A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on frequency. The default value is OFF.
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

If type=ISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

Electrical conductivity.
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
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.

If type=ORTHOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

$σ_{11}^{E}$ .
$σ_{22}^{E}$ .
$σ_{33}^{E}$ .
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
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.

If type=ANISOTROPIC, the table data specify the following:

$σ_{11}^{E}$ .
$σ_{12}^{E}$ .
$σ_{22}^{E}$ .
$σ_{13}^{E}$ .
$σ_{23}^{E}$ .
$σ_{33}^{E}$ .
Frequency, if the data depend on frequency.
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

An ElectricalConductivity object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the ElectricalConductivity object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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