VFILM

User subroutine to define nonuniform film coefficients and sink temperatures for heat transfer analysis.

User subroutine VFILM:

  • can be used to define node-based, element-based, or surface-based nonuniform film coefficients;
  • can be used to define sink temperatures as functions of position, time, temperature, field variables, node number, element number, etc.;
  • will be called during procedures that allow heat transfer analysis at each node or surface integration point of those surfaces and elements for which node-based, element-based, or surface-based nonuniform film conditions are defined; and
  • uses the amplitude references for the sink temperature or film coefficient that may appear with the associated nonuniform film definition only to modify the sink temperature or film coefficient passed into the user subroutine.
