   :canonical: ansys.modelcenter.workflow.grpc_modelcenter.driver_component.DriverComponent



Bases: :py:obj:`ansys.modelcenter.workflow.grpc_modelcenter.component.Component`, :py:obj:`ansys.modelcenter.workflow.grpc_modelcenter.abstract_control_statement.AbstractControlStatement`, :py:obj:`ansys.modelcenter.workflow.api.IDriverComponent`


   Defines a driver component in the workflow.

   In process-mode workflows, driver components can contain children.
   In data-mode workflows, driver components should still be instantiated with an instance
   of this class, but the method to get child elements simply returns an empty collection.

   .. note::
       This class should not be directly instantiated by clients. Get a ``Workflow`` object
       from an instantiated ``Engine`` instance and use it to get valid ``Assembly``,
       ``Component``, or ``DriverComponent`` instances.
