SID |
Load set identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
QVOL |
Power input per unit volume produced by a heat conduction element. No default (Real) |
EID# |
A list of heat conduction elements. No default (Integer > 0, “THRU” or “BY”) |
| 1. | EID# has material properties (MAT4/MAT5) that include HGEN, the scale factor for volumetric heat generation. This association is made through the element EID. |
| 2. | QVOL provides the constant volumetric heat generation rate. QVOL is positive for heat generation. For steady-state analysis, the total power into an element is: |
Pin = volume * HGEN * QVOL
Where, HGEN is the scale factor from the MAT4 and MAT5 data.
| 3. | For use in steady-state analysis, the load set is selected with the Case Control command LOAD=SID. |
| 4. | This card is represented as a flux load in HyperMesh. |
