Path

materialApi.materials()[name].SpecificHeat

Prototype

odb_SpecificHeat&
SpecificHeat(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
             const odb_String& law,
             bool temperatureDependency,
             int dependencies);

Required argument

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

law

An odb_String specifying the specific heat behavior. Possible values are "CONSTANTVOLUME" and "CONSTANTPRESSURE". The default value is "CONSTANTVOLUME".

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

Specific heat per unit mass.
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 SpecificHeat object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
