Example:

Field Definition Type Default
SID Load set identification number. Integer > 0 Required
EID Element identification number of a CHBDYj element. Integer > 0 Required

Remarks:

  1. QBDY2 entries must be selected with the Case Control command LOAD = SID in order to be used in steady state heat transfer analysis.
  2. The total power into each point i on an element is given by the equation:

    Pin = Areaj * Q0

  3. Q0i is positive for heat flux input to the element.
