Card 9 - TEMPERATURE

This optional card specifies the parameters and options for constraining temperature on elements or fluid duct nodes.

Parameters: KODE, N1, T1, T2, T3

KODE

KODE is the code TEMPERATURE (or 133)

N1

N1 is the TEMPERATURE card ID. Cards with the same ID reference the same temperature definition.

T1 = NAME

T1 = NAME (or 1) indicates the name for the temperature constraint that is specified in T2.

T1 = SELECTION

T1 = SELECTION (or 2) specifies a selection of elements or fluid duct nodes where the temperature constraint is applied. The selection is represented by the group name in T2.

T1 = MAGNITUDE

T1 = MAGNITUDE (or 3) specifies the temperature value in T2.

  • If the temperature is constant, its value is specified in T2.
  • If the temperature is table dependent, T2 is a table multiplier and T3 has the form Tn, for example, T25, where n is a table number referencing TABTYPE or FIELDTYPE cards.
  • If the temperature is calculated using an expression, T2 is an expression multiplier and T3 has the form En, for example, E25, where n is an expression number referencing the EXPRESSION card.

T1 = FROM_FILE

T1 = FROM_FILE (or 4) reads the temperature from the file given in T2. T2 must have the file in TEMPF format.

T1 = FROM_DIRECTORY

T1 = FROM_DIRECTORY (or 5) reads the temperature from the file named TEMPF located in directory T2.

Code example


$ Temperature(1)                                                               
TEMPERATURE 6 NAME "Temperature(1)"
TEMPERATURE 6 SELECTION "Temperature(1)"
TEMPERATURE 6 MAGNITUDE  3.400000E+01
