This object is used to create new heat sources for the Thermal Solver.
Reset
Resets all internal settings of the thermal surface to their default values.
Name ( string name )
Specifies the name of the heat source.
Value ( double expression value )
Specifies the heat flow value for the heat source.
Type ( enum { "PTC", "Volume" } type )
Selects one of the following types:
|
"PTC" |
Heat source on a perfect thermal conductor. |
|
"Volume" |
Homogeneous volume heat source on a solid with normal thermal conductivity |
ValueType ( enum {"Integral", "Density"} type )
Specify if the volume heat source value is defined as an integral type or a density type.
Face ( solidname solidname, int faceid )
A heat source can be defined on several faces. This method adds a face (indicated by its faceid) of a certain solid (indicated by its solidname) to the face list for the heat source.
Create
Creates the heat source with its previously made settings.
Delete ( string name )
Deletes the heat source with the given name.
Rename ( string oldname, string newname )
Renames the heat source with the given oldname to the defined newname.
GetValue (name name )
Returns the value of a heat source with a given name.
GetType (name name )
Returns the type ("PTC" or "Volume") of a heat source with a given name.
GetValueType (name name )
Returns the value type ("Integral" or "Density") of a volume heat source source with a given name.
