PROPERTY LOAD HEATFLOW [load_name] [loadcase_no] part_name/ALL args

Argument Meaning

load_name FEMGEN load name.

loadcase_no FEMGEN loadcase number (links load to an ANSYS step).

part_name Any geometry containing nodes.

arg1 Heat flow rate value.

Notes:

1.

The interface will simply apply the same heat flow value to all nodes attached to the specified geometry ie. it will not divide the heat flow value by the number of nodes.

Example FEMGEN Command:

   
PROPERTY LOAD HEATFLOW LO1 1 L1 1000
