FLUX

Element Thermal Gradient and Heat Flux Output Request

Description: Requests element thermal gradient and heat flux output in heat transfer analysis.

Format:

Example:

FLUX = ALL

Option	Definition	Type	Default
PRINT	Element thermal gradients and heat fluxes will be output to both the Model Results Output File and the results neutral file system.	Character	✓
PLOT	Element thermal gradients and heat fluxes will be output only to the results neutral file system.	Character
PUNCH	Element thermal gradients and heat fluxes will be output additionally to the Model Results Punch File.	Character
CENTER	Output thermal gradients and heat fluxes at the center only.	Character	✓
CORNER	Output thermal gradients and heat fluxes at the center and corner nodes.	Character
GAUSS	Output thermal gradients and heat fluxes at the center and gauss/integration points.	Character
ALL	Thermal gradients and heat fluxes for all elements will be output.	Character
n	Set identification number of a previously appearing SET command. Only gradients and fluxes for elements whose identification numbers appear on this SET command will be output.	Integer > 0
NONE	Element thermal gradient and heat flux will not be output.	Character	✓

Remarks:

1. Shell elements must be referenced on a SURFACE and solid elements must be referenced in a VOLUME. (See the SURFACE and VOLUME commands in Section 3, Case Control.)
