ABQFrequencyStep (Object)

Represents an Abaqus frequency step (ABQFrequencyStep) object.
Role: Access an Abaqus frequency step object or determine its properties.

Properties


Property BoundaryConditions() As (Read Only)
Returns the ABQBoundaryConditions container associated with the step.
Example:
This example retrieves the ABQBoundaryConditions container abqBCs. 
 Dim abqFreqStep As ABQFrequencyStep 
 Dim abqBCs As ABQBoundaryConditions
 Set abqBCs = abqFreqStep.BoundaryConditions
Property Description() As
Returns or sets the description of the Abaqus general static step.
Returns:
The description of the Abaqus general static step.
Property EigensolverValue() As
Returns or sets Eigensolver Value.
Returns:
The Eigensolver Value. 
  
Legal values:
 1 - Lanczos.
 2 - AMS.
Example:
This example sets eigensolver as Lanczos abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.EigensolverValue = 1
Property FrequencyShift() As
Returns or sets frequency shift value.
Returns:
The frequency shift value.
Example:
This example sets the maximum frequency for abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.FrequencyShift = 10
Property Loads() As (Read Only)
Returns the ABQLoads container associated with the step.
Example:
The following example retrieves the ABQLoads container abqLoads: 
 Dim abqFreqStep As ABQFrequencyStep 
 Dim abqLoads As ABQLoads
 Set abqLoads = abqFreqStep.Loads
Property MaximumFrequency() As
Returns or sets maximum frequency value.
Returns:
The maximum frequency value.
Example:
This example sets the maximum frequency for abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.MaximumFrequency = 100
Property MinimumFrequency() As
Returns or sets minimum frequency value.
Returns:
The minimum frequency value.
Example:
This example sets the minimum frequency for abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.MinimumFrequency = 10
Property NormalizationValue() As
Returns or sets Normalization Value.
Returns:
The Normalization Value. 
  
Legal values:
 1 - Displacement.
 2 - Mass.
Example:
This example sets Normalization as Displacement abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.NormalizationValue = 1
Property RequestedModesOption() As
Sets or returns the requested modes option.
Returns:
The option of requested modes. 
  
Legal values:
 ABQ_ALL - All modes.
 ABQ_VALUE - Specify the no of modes to be requested.
Example:
This example sets the requested modes option for abqFreqStep job to every increment. 
 abqFreqStep.RequestedModesOption = ABQ_ALL
Property RequestedModesValue() As
Returns or sets requested modes value. This is only valid if RestartRequestOption is ABQ_VALUE
Returns:
The requested modes value.
Example:
This example sets the requested modes for abqFreqStep 
 abqFreqStep.RequestedModesValue = 10
Property ResidualModeReqBoolean() As
Returns or sets Residual Mode Request Boolean Value.
Returns:
The Residual Mode Request Boolean Value.
Property SIMArchitectureReqBoolean() As
Returns or sets SIM Architecture Request Boolean Value.
Returns:
The SIM Architecture Request Boolean Value.
