total_time

ptrace.total_time(p0: float) → int

Sets the maximum length of time that the particle trace is allowed to continue.

A particle trace may terminate earlier than this for other reasons, but this limit avoids infinite calculations in recirculation zones.

Args:

p0:

‘limit’ total time limit

Examples:

#
# Selecting the trace(s)
#
ensight.part.select_begin(7,8)
#
# Modifying attributes for the two selected trace parts
# (total_time is modified in here)
#
ensight.part.modify_begin()
ensight.ptrace.total_time(2.0000e+02)
ensight.ptrace.trace_direction("+/-")
#
# Updates the traces with the modified attributes
#
ensight.part.modify_end()

Returns:

zero on success, non-zero on error
