Description: Defines grid point heat flux into CHBDYj (CHBDYG, CHBDYP) elements.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Load set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| EID | Element identification number of a CHBDYj element. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| Q0i | Heat flux at the i-th grid point on the referenced CHBDYj element. | Real | Required |
Remarks:
- QBDY2 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 each point i on an element is given by the equation:
Pin = Areaj * Q0
- Q0i is positive for heat flux input to the element.
