Card 9 - ELEMQEL Element Heat Generation

KODE

KODE is the code ELEMQEL (or 42)

N1

N1 is an element number.

T1

T1 is the heat load into N1.

T2

T2 = CONSTANT is for constant heat load, or a table number referencing TABTYPE and TABDATA cards for table-dependent heat load.

Code example

ELEMQEL 10 2.5 CONSTANT
$ AN HEAT LOAD OF 2.5 IS APPLIED TO ELEMENT 10
ELEMQEL 20 .8 10
TABTYPE 10 QNODE TEMP
TABDATA 10 3.10.
TABDATA 10 3.5   100.
$ HEAT LOAD ON ELEMENT 20 VARIES FROM 3. TO 3.5 OVER
$ TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 10 TO 100 AND IS MULTIPLIED BY
$ NOMINAL VALUE OF .8

Notes

For table-dependent heat load, the total heat load into element N1 is the nominal heat load T1 multiplied by the value interpolated from table T2 for table-dependent heat load.
