LabelBlock Interface

Details

The LabelBlock object represents very general physical data applicable to the block label.

When you need to change some physical parameters for the block label, you get the LabelBlock object using the Content property of the Label object, modify the LabelBlock object using its properties, and then put it back in the Label object assigning your LabelBlock to the Content property of your Label object. Please see the example for Label object

The exact type of the LabelBlock object you get by the Label.Content property depends upon the problem type as show in the table:

Kind of Analysis	LabelBlock Type
Electrostatic problem	>> LabelBlockES
DC conduction problem	>> LabelBlockCF
AC conduction problem	>> LabelBlockEC
Transient electric problem	LabelBlockTV
DC and transient magnetics problem	>> LabelBlockMS
AC magnetics	>> LabelBlockHE
Heat transfer problem (static and transient)	>> LabelBlockHT
Stress analysis problem	>> LabelBlockSA

The generic LabelBlock object provides only those properties that are common for all specific types of LabelBlocks. These are:

Type	Read-only	Returns the qfBlock value showing that the data are applicable to a block label.
ProblemType	Read-only	Returns the problem type.
Anisotropic	Read-only	Is True if the data contains two coordinate components different from each other.
NonLinear	Read-only	Is True if some physical properties depends on the field value.
Polar	Read and write	Is True when the data components depending upon direction (if any) are given in the polar coordinate system.
Empty	Read-only	Is True when the data are not given for this object.
SetEmpty	Method	Makes the LabelBlock empty.

Each LabelBlock's subtype inherits all the methods and properties of the basic LabelBlock type listed above.

The following example iterates through block labels in the document and turns all anisotropic data to the polar coordinate system:

Dim lb As QuickField.Label
    For Each lb In prb.DataDoc.Labels(qfBlock)
    Dim blockData As LabelBlock
    Set blockData = lb.Content
    With blockData
        If .Anisotropic Then .Polar = True
    End With
    lb.Content = blockData
Next
