momentum

shock.momentum(p0: Any) → int

Specify the momentum variable to use in creating/updating a shock part or the default attributes.

This variable is assigned automatically if the variable name “momentum” exists.

Since the computation of shock depends on velocity, either the velocity variable must be defined or both the density and momentum variables must be defined to obtain the velocity variable.

Args:

p0:

‘variable_name’ name of the momentum variable (the default name <none> means to use nothing

Examples:

ensight.variables.activate("momentum")
ensight.shock.select_default()
ensight.part.modify_begin()
ensight.shock.momentum("momentum")
ensight.part.modify_end()

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
