GapRadiation object

The GapRadiation object specifies radiative heat transfer between closely adjacent surfaces.

This page discusses:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].gapRadiation()

GapRadiation(...)

This method creates a GapConductance object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].GapConductance

Prototype

odb_GapConductance&
GapConductance(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
Float mainSurfaceEmissivity, Float secondarySurfaceEmissivity, );

Required arguments

mainSurfaceEmissivity

A Float specifying the Emissivity of main surface.

secondarySurfaceEmissivity

A Float specifying the Emissivity of the secondary surface.

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Table data

The table data specify the following:

  • Effective View Factor.

  • Gap Clearance.

  • Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the dependence of the view factor on gap clearance.

Return value

A GapRadiation object.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The GapRadiation object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the GapRadiation method.
