GravityField

Full name:

spatialdata.spatialdb.GravityField

Journal name:

gravityfield

Spatial database with gravity field information.

Implements SpatialDB.

Pyre Properties

• acceleration=<dimensional>: Gravitational acceleration.

  • default value: 9.80665ms**-2

  • current value: 9.80665ms**-2, from {default}

• description=<str>: Description for database.

  • default value: ‘’

  • current value: ‘Gravity field’, from {file=’/Users/baagaard/software/unix/py310-venv/pylith-debug/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pythia/pyre/inventory/ConfigurableClass.py’, line=26, function=’set’}

  • validator: <function validateDescription at 0x102e94dc0>

• gravity_dir=<list>: Direction of gravitational body force. (used only with a Cartesian coordinate system.

  • default value: [0.0, 0.0, -1.0]

  • current value: [0.0, 0.0, -1.0], from {default}

Example

Example of setting GravityField Pyre properties and facilities in a parameter file.

# Specify a gravity field in 2D with gravity in the -y direction.
[gravity_field]
gravity_dir = [0, -1]
acceleration = 9.80665*meter/second**2
