Boundary Condition#

A specific type of boundary condition object and a specific type of boundary condition state object are designed for each type of boundary condition. A BoundaryCondition object stores the non-propagating data of a boundary condition as well as a number of instances of the corresponding BoundaryConditionState object, each of which stores the propagating data of the boundary condition in a single step. Instances of the BoundaryConditionState object are created and deleted internally by its corresponding BoundaryCondition object.

Create boundary conditions#

class BoundaryConditionModel(name, description='', stefanBoltzmann=None, absoluteZero=None, waveFormulation=abaqusConstants.NOT_SET, modelType=abaqusConstants.STANDARD_EXPLICIT, universalGas=None, copyConstraints=ON, copyConnectors=ON, copyInteractions=ON)[source]

Abaqus creates a Model object named Model-1 when a session is started.
