Cavity Radiation Variables

The following variables are associated with facets (sides of elements) composing cavities in radiation heat transfer and include contributions due to exchanges with the ambient. You can request cavity radiation variable output to the data, results, or output database file.

The output variables listed below are available in Abaqus/Standard.

RADFL
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Radiation flux per unit area.

RADFLA
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Radiation flux over the facet.

RADTL
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Time integrated radiation per unit area.

RADTLA
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Time integrated radiation over the facet.

VFTOT
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Total view factor for the facet (sum of view factor values in the row of view factor matrix corresponding to the facet).

FTEMP
.dat: yes  .fil: yes  .odb Field: yes  .odb History: yes  

Facet temperature.
