ABQAutomationItf.ABQStep

ABQExplicitDynamicsStep

Represents an Abaqus explicit dynamics step (ABQExplicitDynamicsStep)

object.

Role: Access an Abaqus explicit dynamics step object or determine its

properties.

property auto_time_increment_method: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property AutoTimeIncrementMethod() As

AutoTimeIncrementMethod

Sets or returns the automatic time increment estimator method. Applies only

when TimeIncrementationMethod is AUTO_INCREMENT.

Legal values:

ABQ_ATI_GLOBAL

ABQ_ATI_ELEMENT_BY_ELEMENT

Returns:

enum auto_time_increment_method

Return type:

int

property boundary_conditions: ABQBoundaryConditions

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property BoundaryConditions() As ABQBoundaryConditions (Read

Only)

Returns the ABQBoundaryConditions container associated with the

step.

Example:

This example retrieves the ABQBoundaryConditions container

abqBCs.

Dim abqStep As ABQExplicitDynamicsStep

Dim abqBCs As ABQBoundaryConditions

Set abqBCs = abqStep.BoundaryConditions

Return type:

ABQBoundaryConditions

property description: str

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property Description() As CATBSTR

Sets or returns the description of the Abaqus explicit dynamics

step.

Returns:

The description of the Abaqus explicit dynamics step.

Return type:

str

property fields: ABQFields

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property Fields() As ABQFields (Read Only)

Returns the ABQFields container associated with the step.

Example:

This example retrieves the ABQFields container

abqFields.

Dim abqStep As ABQExplicitDynamicsStep

Dim abqFields As ABQFields

Set abqFields = abqStep.Fields

Return type:

ABQFields

property fixed_time_increment_method: int

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property FixedTimeIncrementMethod() As

FixedTimeIncrementMethod

Sets or returns the fixed time increment method. Applies only when

TimeIncrementationMethod is FIXED_INCREMENT. If the method is set to

ABQ_FTI_USER_DEFINED, the UserDefinedTimeIncrementValue property must be set to

specifiy the time increment value.

Returns:

enum fixed_time_increment_method

Return type:

int

property loads: ABQLoads

Note

CAA V5 Visual Basic Help (2020-09-25 14:34:21.593357)

o Property Loads() As ABQLoads (Read Only)

Returns the ABQLoads container associated with the step.

Example:

The following example retrieves the ABQLoads container

abqLoads:
