RESULTS CALCULATE INTEGRATE Control

            

This command integrates the current results component over the specified region and displays the resulting value in the results monitor.

Control Comments

LINE Integrate over beam elements: a defined line or graph.

SURFACE [axis] Integrate over 2-D elements: a defined surface, or axisymetric beam elements for a given axis.

VOLUME [axis] Integrate over 3-D elements, or 2-D elements for a given axis of symmetry.

IMAGE Integrate over the visible elements of the model, for element invariant results only.

PATH RADIANCE [AUTO] The PATH command predicts the

TEMP [AUTO] infra red image seen by a remote

SETUP ATTRIBUTES viewer for the radiation or

DEFAULTS apparent temperature of a gas cloud or exhaust plume. The image is then displayed as a contour plot with the original model appearing as a dashed outline. See Note 1

OFF Turn the calculation off.

Notes:

1.

By default the calculation reads a text input file to orientate the model and to supply default values to the result calculation code. The 'AUTO' and 'SETUP' options of the command allow the user to automatically produce this text file for the current model orientation. The command requires an additional plug-in module to calculate the resultant values at 'pixel locations' on the image. This module can either be user supplied to customize the calculation process, or ia available from S&C Thermofluids. Contact Femsys Ltd for further information.
