OOF2: The Manual

Name

Profile — The profile of a boundary condition.

Subclasses

Subclasses are listed as they appear in the GUI and (in parentheses) as they appear in scripts.

Description

A Profile object describes the shape of a boundary condition. That is, a boundary condition fixes some quantity (a Field component, for example) on a boundary and the Profile of the boundary condition specifies how that quantity varies along the length of the boundary.

The ContinuumProfile, ConstantProfile and LinearProfile subclasses simply differ in how the profile is specified, with ContinuumProfile being the most general and ConstantProfile the least. NamedProfile objects are used to store and retrieve instances of the other Profile types.
