Value

class ansys.edb.core.utility.value.Value(val, _owner=None)

Represents a number or an expression.

Attributes:

valValueLike

Value assigned to the new value.

_ownerNone, Database,

Cell, Layout, ComponentDef

Notes

A value can be either a constant (such as 1, 2.35, "7+0.3i", and "23mm") or parametric (such as.``w1 + w2``).

If the value is parametric, the _owner attribute must be set to the object that hosts the variables used. If the owner is Cell or Layout, the expression can reference both database variables and cell variables. A better way to create a parametric values is to call the obj_with_variables.create_value(str) method, which automatically sets the _owner parameter to the correct object.

Values can be used in expressions with the following operators:

Mathematical operators supported by values

Operator	Operation	Return Value
+	addition	Value
-	subtraction or negation	Value
*	multiplication	Value
/	division	Value
//	floor division	integer
**	power	Value
==	equality	bool
<	less than	bool
>	greater than	bool

The value is evaluated to a constant (if it is parametric) before applying the operators.

Methods

Value.equals(other[, tolerance])

Check if this value and other value are equivalent when evaluated.

Attributes

Value.complex	complex: Complex value from the value object.
Value.double	float: Float from the value object.
Value.is_complex	bool: Flag indicating if the the value is a complex number (has a non-zero imaginary part).
Value.is_parametric	bool: Flag indicating if the value is parametric (dependent on variables).
Value.sqrt	float: Square root of this value as a constant value.
Value.value	complex: Evaluation to a constant and return as a float or complex.
