Interface IMaterialMixture

All Superinterfaces:

IMaterial

public interface IMaterialMixture
extends IMaterial

This interface is a material mixture that is defined by a list of sub-materials. The sub-materials are added by mass fraction or atom count. Mixing mass fractions and atom counts in a single definition is not allowed and will cause a fatal error.

Method Detail

getNComponentsMax

int getNComponentsMax()

Get the total number of components allowed in this mixture.

Returns:

The maximum number of allowed components.

getNComponents

int getNComponents()

The number of components added thusfar to the mixture.

Returns:

The number of components added so far.

getNElements

int getNElements()

Get the number of different elements in this mixture.

Returns:

The number of different elements in this mixture.

getElements

List<MaterialElement> getElements()

Get a list of elements in this mixture.

Returns:

A list of elements in this mixture.

getMassFractions

List<Double> getMassFractions()

Get the list of mass fractions in this element. Same order as getElements().

Returns:

getAtomCounts

List<Integer> getAtomCounts()

Get the list of atom counts in this element. Same order as getElements().

Returns:

The list of atom counts.

isFilled

boolean isFilled()

Returns:

True if getNComponents() is equal to getNComponentsMax().
