Description
Defines an internally generated body heat given in W/kg.
Usage
- Either press the FEM_ConstraintBodyHeatSource or select the menu Model → Thermal Constraints → Constraint body heat source.
- Set the value:
- version 1.0 and above: For a 3D analysis, select a 'solid' (body) from your model, for a 2D analysis select a face.
- version 0.20 and below: Since the constraint has no task dialog, use the property editor and set the property DataHeat Source.
Limitation
version 0.20 and below: The body heat source is applied to the whole model, meaning all bodies of the setup. It is not possible to select an individual body.
Notes
- This constraint works only with the Elmer solver.
