start_time

ptrace.start_time(p0: float) → int

Specifies the solution time at which to begin particle emission.

Args:

p0:

‘emit_time’ solution time for particle emission. Must be in the range of valid solution times

Examples:

#
# Selecting the parent part
#
ensight.part.select_begin(1)
#
# Setting some attributes before creation
# (the start_time is being set here)
#
ensight.ptrace.begin()
ensight.ptrace.variable("VITESSE")
ensight.ptrace.type("streamline")
ensight.ptrace.component(1.0000e+00,1.0000e+00,1.0000e+00)
ensight.ptrace.representation("line")
ensight.ptrace.start_time(1.5000e+01)
ensight.ptrace.delta_time(1.0000e+00)
ensight.ptrace.end()
#
# Creating trace from a point
#
ensight.ptrace.create_pt()

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
