Prescribed Temperature

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gif The prescribed temperature (fixed)  serves as the boundary condition of the heat transfer analysis, makes it  always maintained during analysis. It has a similar role to the constraint in structural analysis. A time function can also be added.

 

Methodology

Name

 

Enter the name of  the prescribed temperature condition.

 

Type

The applied temperature is defined on the node, but the selection target can also be set as a geometry shape (edge, surface etc.) or using auto-select free face nodes.

 

  Temperature

Enter the temperature value for the selected target objects.

 

 Base Function

Set a spatial function or a non-spatial function as a base function to be applied to the magnitude of  temperature.

 

Time Function

Select the function to be applied to time.

 Global Time

The time applied to the time function is based on the total analysis time.

 Local Time

The time applied to the time function is based on the subcase time.

 

Thermal Load

Register the specified fixed temperature conditions to a desired thermal load set.  
The user may assign any name to the load set.
