59.94.1 Sorption(...)

This method creates a Sorption object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].Sorption

Prototype

odb_Sorption&
Sorption(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& absorptionTable,
         const odb_String& lawAbsorption,
         bool exsorption,
         const odb_String& lawExsorption,
         double scanning,
         const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& exsorptionTable);

Required argument

absorptionTable

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

lawAbsorption

An odb_String specifying absorption behavior. Possible values are "LOG" and "TABULAR". The default value is "TABULAR".

exsorption

A Boolean specifying whether the exsorption data is specified. The default value is false.

lawExsorption

An odb_String specifying exsorption behavior. Possible values are "LOG" and "TABULAR". The default value is "TABULAR".

scanning

A Double specifying the slope of the scanning line, . This slope must be positive and larger than the slope of the absorption or exsorption behaviors. The default value is 0.0.

exsorptionTable

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below. The default value is an empty sequence.

Table data

If lawAbsorption=TABULAR or lawExsorption=TABULAR, the absorptionTable and exsorptionTable data respectively specify the following:

Pore pressure, .
Saturation, .

If lawAbsorption=LOG or lawExsorption=LOG, the absorptionTable and exsorptionTable data respectively specify the following:

Return value

A Sorption object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
