Simulation: Sources and Loads
Volume Heat SourceIn this dialog, properties of a volume heat source can be specified. A volume heat source constantly radiates a given power within the whole volume of the selected solid. This source type is equivalent to rms volume loss evenly distributed within the solid volume.
Note: This type of source can be defined only on materials with a thermal conductivity larger than zero.
Name
Declare the name for the volume heat source. Each source must have a unique name.
Volume heat source
Specify the value of the volume heat source.
Total: enter the whole power in W.
Density: enter the power density of the volume heat source in W/m3.
OK
Accepts the changes and closes the dialog.
Cancel
Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
