`WindscreenCollection`

A collection of windscreens.

Example

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

    -- Create dielectric to be used for the windscreens

dielectric = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric()
layeredDielectric1 = project.Definitions.Media.LayeredDielectric:AddLayeredDielectric({0.1}, {dielectric})
layeredDielectric2 = project.Definitions.Media.LayeredDielectric:AddLayeredDielectric({0.3}, {dielectric})

    -- Create some windscreen media

windscreen1 = project.Definitions.Media.Windscreen:AddWindscreen(layeredDielectric1, 0.1)
windscreen2 = project.Definitions.Media.Windscreen:AddWindscreen(layeredDielectric2, 0.4)

Inheritance

The WindscreenCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The WindscreenCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Collection lists
- Media object has collection Windscreen.

Property List

Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

AddWindscreen (properties table): Create a windscreen medium from a table defining the properties. (Returns a Windscreen object.)
AddWindscreen (medium LayeredIsotropicDielectric, offset Expression): Create a windscreen medium. (Returns a Windscreen 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.)
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.)

Property Details

Label

The object label.

Type: string
Access: Read/Write

Type

The object type string.

Type: string
Access: Read only

Method Details

AddWindscreen (properties table)

Create a windscreen medium from a table defining the properties.

Input Parameters

properties(table): A table of properties defining the new windscreen medium.

Return

Windscreen: The windscreen medium.

AddWindscreen (medium LayeredIsotropicDielectric, offset Expression)

Create a windscreen medium.

Input Parameters

medium(LayeredIsotropicDielectric): The layered dielectric contained in the windscreen layers.
offset(Expression): The distance (in the model unit) from the windscreen curvature reference to the top of layer 1.

Return

Windscreen: The windscreen medium.

Delete ()

Deletes the entity.

DeleteEntities ( List of Object)

Delete the given list of entities from the collection.

Input Parameters

(List of Object)

Duplicate ()

Duplicates the entity.

Return

Object: The new (duplicated) entity.

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.

Return

table: A table defining the properties.

SetProperties (properties Object)
