59.24 Conductivity object

The Conductivity object specifies thermal conductivity.

Access
materialApi.materials()[name].conductivity()


59.24.1 Conductivity(...)

This method creates a Conductivity object.

Path
materialApi.materials()[name].Conductivity
Prototype
odb_Conductivity&
Conductivity(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
             const odb_String& type,
             bool temperatureDependency,
             int dependencies);

Required argument

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

type

An odb_String specifying the type of conductivity. Possible values are "ISOTROPIC", "ORTHOTROPIC", and "ANISOTROPIC". The default value is "ISOTROPIC".

temperatureDependency

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

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:

  • Conductivity, .

  • 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:

  • .

  • .

  • .

  • 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:

  • .

  • .

  • .

  • .

  • .

  • .

  • 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 Conductivity object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
