Card 9 - NODEQ Nodal Heat Source

KODE

KODE is the code NODEQ (or 48)

N1

N1 is a node number.

T1

T1 is the heat load into N1.

T2

T2 = CONSTANT is the code for constant heat load, or a table number referencing Card 9 - TABTYPE Table Variable Type Definition and Card 9 - TABDATA Analyzer Table Data for table-dependent heat load.

Code example

NODEQ 10 2.5 CONSTANT
$ AN HEAT LOAD OF 2.5 IS APPLIED TO NODE 10
NODEQ 20 .8 10
TABTYPE 10 QNODE TEMP
TABDATA 10 3.10.
TABDATA 10 3.5   100.
$ HEAT LOAD ON NODE 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 node N1 is the nominal heat load T1 multiplied by the value interpolated from table T2 for table-dependent heat load.

The nodal heat load is redistributed to connecting elements for the thermal analysis.
