-
Display the concentrated heat flux load editor using one of the
following methods:
-
Click the arrow to the right of the Distribution
field, and select the option of your choice from the list that appears:
-
Select Uniform to define a load that is
uniform over the region.
-
Select an analytical field to define a spatially varying load.
Only analytical fields that are valid for this load type are displayed in the
selection list. Alternatively, you can click
to create a new analytical field. (See
The Analytical Field toolset
for more information.)
-
In the Magnitude field, enter the concentrated
heat flux magnitude (units JT−1). A positive
magnitude indicates heat flow into the body at the vertex or node.
-
If desired, click the arrow to the right of the
Amplitude field, and select the amplitude of your choice
from the list that appears. Alternatively, you can click
to create a new amplitude. (See
The Amplitude toolset
for more information.)
-
If you are working with shell elements and want to apply the heat flux
to a degree of freedom other than 11, enter the desired degree of freedom in
the Degree of freedom field. Otherwise, accept the default
degree of freedom.
You can enter any number between 11 and 31 in the Degree of
freedom field. If you prefer, you can use the arrows on the right
side of the field to scroll through the range of valid degrees of freedom.

“Specifying concentrated
heat fluxes,” in
