# BioSimSpace.Types.Pressure¶

class BioSimSpace.Types.Pressure(*args)

A pressure type.

__init__(*args)

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”.
