Description
Creates a FEM constraint for a temperature boundary condition.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
FEM ConstraintTemperature button.
- Select the Model → Thermal Constraints →
Constraint temperature option from the menu.
- Press the
- In the 3D view select the objects the constraint should be applied to, which can be a vertices (corners), edges, or faces.
- Enter a temperature to apply to the objects.
Option
By default the constraint defines a temperature. By using the option Concentrated heat Flux a heat flux trough the area of the face (Watt per face area) can be specified.
Notes
- The temperature constraint uses the *BOUNDARY card in CalculiX. the temperature constraint is explained at http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node163.html
