The ConcentratedForceState object stores the propagating data for a concentrated force in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the ConcentratedForce object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the ConcentratedForce object.
The ConcentratedForceState object has no constructor or methods.
The ConcentratedForceState object is derived from the LoadState object.
import load mdb.models[name].steps[name].loadStates[name]
The ConcentratedForceState object has the following members:
A Float or a Complex specifying the concentrated force component in the 1-direction. Although cf1, cf2, and cf3 are optional arguments, at least one of them must be nonzero.
A Float or a Complex specifying the concentrated force component in the 2-direction.
A Float or a Complex specifying the concentrated force component in the 3-direction.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the concentrated force component in the 1-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the concentrated force component in the 2-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the concentrated force component in the 3-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the amplitude member. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the LoadState object. Possible values are:
NOT_YET_ACTIVE
CREATED
PROPAGATED
MODIFIED
DEACTIVATED
NO_LONGER_ACTIVE
TYPE_NOT_APPLICABLE
INSTANCE_NOT_APPLICABLE
BUILT_INTO_BASE_STATE
A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the load has no amplitude reference.
