BioSimSpace.Types.Pressure#

class BioSimSpace.Types.Pressure(*args)[source]#

A pressure type.

__init__(*args)[source]#

Constructor.

*args can be a value and unit, or a string representation of the pressure, e.g. “1.38 bar”.

Parameters:
  • value (float) – The value.

  • unit (str) – The unit.

  • string (str) – A string representation of the pressure.

Examples

Create an object representing a pressure of 3.1 atmosphere then print the pressure in bar.

>>> import BioSimSpace as BSS
>>> pressure = BSS.Types.Pressure(3.1, "atm")
>>> print(pressure.bar())

The same as above, except passing a string representation of the pressure to the constructor.

>>> import BioSimSpace as BSS
>>> pressure = BSS.Types.Pressure("3.1 atm")
>>> print(pressure.nanoseconds())

The string matching is extremeley flexible, so all of the following would be valid arguments: “3.1 atm”, “3.1 atmosphere”, “0.31e1 atm”.
