Parameters:: steps (List[LoadStep]) –

classmethod biaxial(**kwargs)#

A single-step biaxial load case.

See LoadStep.biaxial for argument documentation.

Return type:: LoadCase

dump_to_HDF5_group(group)#: Write this parameter value to an HDF5 group.

classmethod example_uniaxial()#

A non-parametrisable example single-step uniaxial load case.

Return type:: LoadCase

classmethod multistep(steps)#

A load case with multiple steps.

Parameters:: steps (List[Dict | LoadStep]) – A list of LoadStep objects or dict`s representing `LoadStep objects, in which case if a dict has a key type, the corresponding LoadStep classmethod will be invoked with the remainder of the dict items.
