Boundary Heat Flux Load for CHBDYj Elements
Description: Defines a uniform heat flux into CHBDYj (CHBDYG, CHBDYP) elements.
Format:
Example:
Alternate Format and Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Load set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| Q0 | Heat flux into element. | Real | Required |
| EIDi | CHBDYj element identification number(s). | Integer > 0; EID2 > EID1 | Required |
Remarks:
- QBDY1 entries must be selected with the Case Control command LOAD = SID in order to be used in steady state heat transfer analysis.
- The total power into an element is given by the equation:
Pin = (Effective area) * Q0
- Q0 is positive for heat input.
- At least one EID must be present on each QBDY1 entry.
- If the alternate form is used, all elements EID1 through EID2 that are not compatible or do not exist will be skipped.
- Elements must not be specified more than once.
- All elements directly referenced must exist.
- Continuations are not allowed.
