Description

Base class for all attributes.

Example

To assign material "Steel" to volume 1

 call selection.add("Volume", "1")
 call assignment.setAllDefaults()
 set attr = database.getAttribute("Material", "Steel")
 set assigned = attr.assignTo(selection, assignment)

 set surface = database.getObject("surface", 1)
 asgnArray = surface.getAssignments("mesh")
 set attr = asgnArray(0).getAttribute()
 names=attr.getValueNames()
 for i = 0 to ubound(names)
 textwindow.writeline(names(i) & "=" & attr.getValue(names(i)))
 next
