Name
ProfileXT — Space- and time-dependent boundary condition profiles.
Subclasses
Subclasses are listed as they appear in the GUI and (in parentheses) as they appear in scripts.
-
Constant Profile (
ConstantProfile
) -- Boundary condition has a constant value. -
Linear Profile (
LinearProfile
) -- Boundary condition is a linear function of arclength. -
Continuum Profile (
ContinuumProfileXT
) -- Boundary condition is arbitrary function of position and time.
Description
A ProfileXT
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.
Profiles specified by ProfileXT
can depend on
both position and time.
The ContinuumProfileXT, ConstantProfile, and LinearProfile subclasses simply differ in how the profile is specified, with ContinuumProfileXT being the most general and ConstantProfile the least.
