FEM ConstraintBodyHeatSource

Description

Defines an internally generated body heat given in W/kg.

Usage

1. Press the '''Body heat source''' button or select the menu Model → Thermal boundary conditions and loads → Body heat source.

2. Set the value:

   <small>(v0.21)</small> 
   
   : For a 3D analysis, select a \'solid\' (body) from your model, for a 2D analysis select a face.
   

   • {{VersionMinus|0.20}}

     : Since the tool has no task dialog, use the property editor and set the property Heat Source.

Limitation

{{VersionMinus|0.20}}

: The body heat source is applied to the whole model, meaning all bodies of the setup. It is not possible to select an individual body.
