The ConnectorForceState object stores the propagating data for a connector force in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by the ConnectorForce object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the ConnectorForce object.
The ConnectorForceState object has no constructor or methods.
The ConnectorForceState object is derived from the LoadState object.
import load mdb.models[name].steps[name].loadStates[name]
The ConnectorForceState object has the following members:
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local 1-direction.
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local 2-direction.
A Float or a Complex specifying the connector force component in the connector's local 3-direction.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the connector force component in the connector's local 1-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the connector force component in the connector's local 2-direction. Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the connector force component in the connector's local 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.
