Temperature

Analysis > Boundary Conditions > Temperature

Introduction

This boundary condition is used to assign fixed temperature on a list of surfaces or parts.

Description

1. For a given BC all entities must be of the same type (all bodies or all faces).
2. The user can select one or more bodies or faces to apply a fix temperature to, with appropriate mouse selection control.
3. Temperature can be either constant or variable if a multiplier function is defined when creating the boundary condition.
4. If a multiplier function is defined it will also convert based on the unit system and temperature value.

   

5. There are three types of multiplier tables:
   1. Time - Multiplier value varies as a function of time.
   2. Iteration - Multiplier value varies as a function of the iteration.
   3. Sensor – Multiplier value varies based on the selected sensor output.
   4. Thermostat - Multiplier value varies based on the ON/OFF status of the selected thermostat.
