Temperature

PROPERTY LOAD TEMPERAT [load_name] [loadcase_no] part_name/ALL args

Argument Meaning

load_name FEMGEN load name.

loadcase_no FEMGEN loadcase number.

part_name Any geometry containing nodes.

T^base_i Base Temperature.

S_i Scale Factor (optional)

Notes:

1.

The interface will apply the same temperature value to all nodes attached to the specified geometry.

2.

Any number of temperature conditions may be applied to the model and the interface will sum such definitions and output temperatures for all nodes in the model.

3.

Where differing temperature conditions are applied to parts which have geometric entities in common, the temperature on the common parts will be overwritten by the latest defined temperature load.

The temperature T at any given time t at node i will then be given by:

$$T(t)=T^{base}_{i} + S_{i}f(t)$$

Example FEMGEN Command:
