Source code for abaqus.Load.SurfaceHeatFluxState

from abaqusConstants import *
from .LoadState import LoadState


class SurfaceHeatFluxState(LoadState):
    """The SurfaceHeatFluxState object stores the propagating data for a surface
    SurfaceHeatFlux object in a step. One instance of this object is created internally by 
    the SurfaceHeatFlux object for each step. The instance is also deleted internally by the 
    SurfaceHeatFlux object. 
    The SurfaceHeatFluxState object has no constructor or methods. 
    The SurfaceHeatFluxState object is derived from the LoadState object. 

    Attributes
    ----------
    magnitude: float
        A Float specifying the surface heat flux magnitude.
    magnitudeState: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the surface heat flux magnitude.
        Possible values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and MODIFIED.
    amplitudeState: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the **amplitude** member. Possible
        values are UNSET, SET, UNCHANGED, and FREED.
    status: SymbolicConstant
        A SymbolicConstant specifying the propagation state of the :py:class:`~abaqus.Load.LoadState.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
    amplitude: str
        A String specifying the name of the amplitude reference. The String is empty if the load
        has no amplitude reference.
