The domain of the OdbFrame object is taken from the parent step.
odb.steps()[name].frames(i)
This method creates an OdbFrame object and appends it to the frame sequence.
odb.steps()[name].Frame
odb_Frame
Frame(int incrementNumber,
float frameValue,
const odb_String& description);
Required arguments
An Int specifying the frame increment number within the step. The base frame has normally increment number 0, and the results run from 1. In case of multiple load cases, the same increment number is duplicated for each loadcase.
A Float specifying the value in units determined by the domain member of the Step object. The equivalent in the time domain is stepTime; in the frequency domain the equivalent is frequency; and in the modal domain the equivalent is mode.
Optional argument
An odb_String specifying the contents of the frame. The default value is an empty string.
Return value
An OdbFrame object.
Exceptions
This constructor creates an OdbFrame object in the frequency domain and appends it to the frame sequence. The arguments to the constructor are valid only when domain=FREQUENCY.
odb.steps()[name].Frame
odb_Frame
Frame(int mode,
float frequency,
const odb_String& description);
Required arguments
An Int specifying the eigenmode. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::MODAL.
A Float specifying the frequency. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::FREQUENCY or if the procedureType member of the Step object=“FREQUENCY”. The default value is 0.0.
Optional argument
An odb_String specifying the contents of the frame. The default value is an empty string.
Return value
An OdbFrame object.
Exceptions
This constructor creates an OdbFrame object in the mode domain and appends it to the frame sequence. The arguments to the constructor are valid only when domain=MODE.
odb.steps()[name].Frame
odb_Frame
Frame(int mode,
float frequency,
const odb_String& description);
Required arguments
An Int specifying the eigenmode. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::MODAL.
A Float specifying the frequency. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::FREQUENCY or if the procedureType member of the Step object=“FREQUENCY”. The default value is 0.0.
Optional argument
An odb_String specifying the contents of the frame. The default value is an empty string.
Return value
An OdbFrame object.
Exceptions
This constructor creates an OdbFrame object for a specific load case and appends it to the frame sequence.
odb.steps()[name].Frame
odb_Frame
Frame(const odb_LoadCase& loadCase,
const odb_String& description,
float frequency);
Required argument
An OdbLoadCase object specifying the load case for the frame.
Optional arguments
An odb_String specifying the contents of the frame. The default value is an empty string.
A Float specifying the frequency. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::FREQUENCY or if the procedureType member of the Step object=“FREQUENCY”. The default value is 0.0.
Return value
An OdbFrame object.
Exceptions
The OdbFrame object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Frame method.
In addition, the OdbFrame object can have the following members:
odb_Frame associatedFrame(); int cyclicModeNumber(); odb_String description() const; odb_Enum::odb_DomainEnum domain() const; odb_FieldOutputRepository& fieldOutputs(); int incrementNumber() const; float frameValue() const; float frequency() const; const odb_LoadCase& loadCase() const; int mode() const;
An Int specifying the cyclic mode number associated with the data stored on this frame. Only frequency analyses of cyclic symmetry models possess cyclic mode numbers.
An odb_Enum::odb_DomainEnum specifying the domain of the step of which the frame is a member. Possible values are odb_Enum::TIME, odb_Enum::FREQUENCY, and odb_Enum::MODAL.
A Float specifying the frequency. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::FREQUENCY or if the procedureType member of the Step object=“FREQUENCY”. The default value is 0.0.
An Int specifying the eigenmode. This member is available only if domain=odb_Enum::MODAL.
An OdbFrame object specifying the real or imaginary portion of the data corresponding to this cyclic symmetry mode.
A repository of FieldOutput objects specifying the key to the fieldOutputsrepository is a String representing an output variable.
An OdbLoadCase object specifying the load case for the frame.
