Thermal Section

Thermal conditions represent sources of heat and temperature in a thermal simulation.

Thermal conditions are step-dependent actions.

Temperature
Defines the temperature in a region for a thermal analysis case.
See Applying Prescribed Temperatures.
Heat Flux
Defines the flow of heat into or out of a surface.
See Heat Flux.
Film Condition
Defines heating or cooling due to convection by surrounding fluids.
See Applying Film Conditions.
Volumetric Heat Source
Defines a distributed heat flux over a body.
See Volumetric Heat Source.
Radiation to Ambient
Defines heat transfer to a nonreflecting environment due to radiation.
See Defining Radiation to Ambient.
Radiation Cavity Approximation
Defines heat transfer due to radiation in enclosures.
See Defining a Radiation Cavity Approximation.
Prescribed Temperature
Defines the temperature in a region for a structural analysis case.
See Applying Prescribed Temperatures.
