MetalCollection

A collection of metallic media.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Create metallic media
metal = project.Definitions.Media.Metallic:AddMetal()

Inheritance

The MetalCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The MetalCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Count
The number of Metal items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddMetal (properties table)
Create a dielectric medium. (Returns a Metal object.)
AddMetal (relativepermeability Expression, losstangent Expression, conductivity Expression)
Creates a new metallic medium. (Returns a Metal object.)
AddMetal ()
Creates a new metallic medium. (Returns a Metal object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
DeleteEntities ( List of Object)
Delete the given list of entities from the collection.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number)
Returns the Metal for the given index in the collection. (Returns a Metal object.)
Item (label string)
Returns the Metal for the given label in the collection. (Returns a Metal object.)
Items ()
Returns a table of Metal items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of Metal) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
