BC Set Select a BC Set in which the specified BC will be added.
Type Select the convection type as Face Convection or Edge Convection. midas FEA provides various heat transfer conditions for planes or lines of 1D/2D/3D elements.
Object Select element(s) where the Convection Boundary will be assigned. The user can select the Face on 2D/3D element by selecting Face Convection in the Type field. The user can select the Edge on 1D/2D element by selecting Edge Convection in the Type field.
Mode Add Add new Convection Boundary.
Replace Replace previously defined Convection Boundary.
Delete Delete previously defined Convection Boundary.
Apply to Unassigned Objects Only When adding new loads, this option applies loads to unassigned nodes only.
Convection Boundary Select the Convection Coefficient Function and the Ambient Temperature Function.
Convection Coefficient Function The Convection Coefficient Function is defined using 'Convection Coefficient Functions.' Click to prompt the Create/Modify Function dialog box.
Ambient Temperature Function The Ambient Temperature Function is defined using 'Ambient Temperature Functions.' Click to prompt the Create/Modify Function dialog box. After specifying all of the input data, the user can confirm using the Preview button. The user can reset all of the selected input data using the button. |
