Temperature Generation
Description: Grid point temperature generation.
Format:
TEMPGENERATE, sid, esid, gradient, temperature, component, cid
Example:
TEMPGENERATE, 23, 4, 25.34, 100.0, Z, 2
| Option | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sid | Generated temperature set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| esid | Element set identification number. Set identification of previously appearing SET command. Only elements whose identification numbers appear on this SET command will be used. | Integer > 0 | All |
| gradient | Thermal gradient. See Remark 1. | Real | 0.0 |
| temperature | Reference temperature. See Remark 1. | Real | 0.0 |
| component | Gradient component direction, one of the following character variables: R, T, P, X, Y, or Z. | Character | Required if gradient ≠ 0.0 |
| cid | Gradient component coordinate system. | Integer > 0 | 0 |
Remarks:
- Grid point temperatures (via the
TEMP Bulk Data entry) are generated using the following relation:
where,
is the specified gradient
is the component coordinate in the specified coordinate system
is the reference temperature
