Definitions

Field Contents SI Unit Example
SID LOAD set identification

(Integer > 0)
G/GSETID This field represents a grid point identification number, or if the GSET continuation line is specified, an identification number of a SET of grid points.

(Integer > 0)
T/ASSIGN_ID Temperature/if ASSIGN is specified, ID of an ASSIGN,H3DRES entry.

(Real for Temperature, Integer if ASSIGN is specified)
GSET Flag which indicates that the G/GSETID field is identified as a SET of grid points, at which the temperatures are applied.
ASSIGN Flag indicating that the T field is identified as ASSIGN_ID, which is the ID of an ASSIGN entry. If the field is identified as ASSIGN_ID, the field should be defined as an integer.

Comments

  1. Temperature sets may be selected for use in a subcase by the TEMPERATURE(LOAD) or TEMPERATURE(BOTH) Subcase Information Entry. They can also be selected by the EXCITEID field of a TLOAD# entry or selected on the IC Subcase Information Entry. They can also be combined with other TEMP, TEMPD or TEMPSEC Bulk Data Entries on a TEMPADD Bulk Data Entry. For more information, refer to the TEMPERATURE Subcase Information Entry.
  2. From one to three grid point temperatures may be defined on a single entry. If the GSET continuation line is present, then the referenced SET can consist of any number of grid points.
  3. This card is represented as a temperature load in HyperMesh.
  4. The ASSIGN keyword can be used to assign multiple temperatures to multiple components/parts. Each component can have a SET containing all grid points related to that component and the temperatures from the external H3D file can be assigned to these grid points. Any adjoining component sharing boundary nodes can be assigned another set of temperatures from a new external H3D file. The same boundary nodes are assigned new temperatures from the last ASSIGN,H3DRES file in the TEMPADD list. Below is an example of how TEMPADD is used to add all the temperatures from various ASSIGN,H3DRES files:
    ASSIGN,H3DRES,150,heat_tran_h3d_gen.h3d
