`Variable`#

class ansys.mechanical.stubs.v242.Ansys.ACT.Mechanical.Fields.Variable#

Bases: object

Represents an object that is either an input or an output for a P:Ansys.ACT.Mechanical.Fields.Variable.Field. Depending on whether it is an input or output and on the way it is defined, this object holds a series of discrete values or an expression that may involve other variables.

Overview#

Methods

`GetDiscreteValue`	Changes a value at a given position in the tabular definition of the variable.
`SetDiscreteValue`	Changes a value at a given position in the tabular definition of the variable.

Properties

`DefinitionType`	Gets a value that indicates how this variable is defined.
`DiscreteValueCount`	Gets the number of discrete values of this variable.
`DiscreteValues`	Gets or sets the discrete values of this variable or
`Field`	Gets the owner field.
`Formula`	Gets or sets the expression that is used to defined this variable, or
`Index`	Gets the index of this variable in its container field.
`IsInput`	Gets a value indicating whether this variable is an input for its container field. Otherwise, it is an output variable.
`IsOutput`	Gets a value indicating whether this variable is an output for its container field. Otherwise, it is an input variable.
`MinMaxDiscreteValues`	Returns a Tuple containing the min and max values from the list of discrete values.
`Name`	Gets the variable's name.
`QuantityName`	Gets the name of the quantity represented by this variable.
`Range`	Gets the domain of validity for variable's value.
`Unit`	Gets the symbol of the unit used to express this variable's values.
