Cavity Radiation Output in Abaqus/Standard

You can request that cavity-, element-, or surface-based output such as radiation fluxes, view factor totals for a facet, and facet temperatures from an Abaqus/Standard analysis be written to the output database.

The output request can be repeated as often as necessary to define output for different variables, different cavities, different element sets, different surfaces, etc.

Selecting the Radiation Output Variables

The radiation output variables that can be written to the output database are listed in Cavity Radiation Variables.

Input File Usage

RADIATION OUTPUT

Selecting the Region of the Model for Which Radiation Output Is Required

You can specify the cavity, element set, or surface for which radiation output is required. Each radiation output request can apply to only one type of region. If you do not specify a region of the model, radiation variables are output for all the cavities in the model.

Input File Usage

Use one of the following options:

RADIATION OUTPUT, CAVITY=cavity_name
RADIATION OUTPUT, ELSET=element_set_name
RADIATION OUTPUT, SURFACE=surface_name

Requesting Output

You can request all radiation variables applicable to the current procedure. In this case any additional variables you specify are ignored.
