Card 9 - GPARAM Parameter

This optional card defines or overrides run-time parameters for the model.

Parameters: KODE, N1, T1, T2

KODE

KODE is the code GPARAM (or 41)

N1

N1 is an internal number referring to a TMG module.

T1

T1 is the parameter index in module N1.

T2

T2 is the parameter value.

Code example

GPARAM cards are used to activate advanced thermal parameters. A list of these is given in the example below.

GPARAM  0  21  1   $ The thermal postprocessor processes REPORTER Cards.
GPARAM  0  35  1   $ indicates that TMG refreshes REPORTER Cards on surfaces.
GPARAM  0  36  1   $ indicates REPORTER Cards are refreshed.
GPARAM  1  153  1   $ Flag for file handling when REPORTER Cards are refreshed.
GPARAM  1  313  0   $ Creates a perfect contact coupling using large conductances relative to other conductances between groups of elements specified in perfect contact requests.
GPARAM  4  420  0   $ Allow all elements to shadow.
GPARAM  4  420  1   $ Limit shadowing checks to the requested enclosure.
GPARAM  12  725  0   $ Use first order formulation for quadrilateral shells.
GPARAM  12  792  0   $ Do not account for conduction in hydraulic fluid flow.
GPARAM  12  861  1   $ indicates the thermal solver will compute heatflow and/or view factor REPORTER Cards.
GPARAM  12  1055 1   $ Activates Petukhov correlation for laminar and turbulent fully developed duct flow.
GPARAM  12  1084  1   $ Printout times match integration times.
GPARAM  12  1281  4   $ The thermal solver will use 4 threads in matrix assembly parallelization.
GPARAM  12  1484  1   $ Do not apply extrapolation limitation to the nodal temperatures used in computing the error estimates.
GPARAM  12  1485  1   $ Wherever two or more BCs intersect do not actually compute the error estimates on the closest (to the intersection nodes) three layers of elements. Apply to these elements an error estimate inherited from the inner neighbors.
GPARAM  12  1563  1   $ Activates Sieder-Tate's correlations for laminar developing duct flow.
GPARAM  38  15  0   $ Use first order formulation for quadrilateral shells.
GPARAM  56  28  1   $ Activate on-screen rendering for the hemicube method.
GPARAM  56  30  0.05   $ Sum of disposed radiation view factors less than 0.05.
GPARAM  1000  72  -2   $ Equivalent to PARAM CAPDIST OFF.
