Boundary Conditions

mechanica.BoundaryCondition: alias of mechanica.mechanica.MxBoundaryCondition

class mechanica.MxBoundaryCondition

A condition on a boundary of the universe.

property kind_str: mechanica.mechanica.MxBoundaryCondition.str: The name of the kind of boundary condition.

restore

restoring percent.

When objects hit this boundary, they get reflected back at restore percent, so if restore is 0.5, and object hitting the boundary at 3 length / time recoils with a velocity of 1.5 lengths / time.

velocity: the velocity on the boundary

name: name of the boundary

normal: vector normal to the boundary

mechanica.BoundaryConditions: alias of mechanica.mechanica.MxBoundaryConditions

class mechanica.MxBoundaryConditions(*args)

The BoundaryConditions class serves as a container for the six instances of the MxBoundaryCondition object

left: The left boundary

right: The right boundary

front: The front boundary

back: The back boundary

bottom: The bottom boundary

top: The top boundary
