Card 9 - THERMAL_REPORT

This optional card generates reports files for different thermal solution data using the finite element discretization method.

Parameters: KODE, N1, T1, T2, T3

KODE

KODE = THERMAL_REPORT (or 142) defines a thermal report entity.

N1

N1 is the thermal report card ID.

T1 = NAME

T1 = NAME (or 1) specifies the thermal report name in T2.

T1 = SELECTION

T1 = SELECTION (or 2) specifies that the thermal report is applied to a selection of elements represented by the group name in T3. The selected element is specified in T2.

  • T2 = PRIMARY specifies the primary elements.
  • T2 = SECONDARY specifies the secondary elements.

T1 = SHELL

T1 = SHELL (or 4) specifies on which side of 2D shell elements the thermal results are computed. The results are calculated on the following sides of 2D shell elements:

  • T2 = BOTH
  • T2 = TOP
  • T2 = BOTTOM

T1 = TYPE

T1 = TYPE (or 3) specifies the following type of report in T2:

  • T2 = PER_REGION generates selected thermal solution data for a specified region of your model.
  • T2 = HEAT_MAP generates heat flow data between each pair of regions.

T1 = NON-GEOMETRIC

T1 = NON-GEOMETRIC (or 5) specified if the selected region is overridden with a non-geometric element in T2.
  • T2 = 0 specifies that the solver does not override the selected region.
  • T2 = 1 specifies that the solver overrides the selected region with a non-geometric element.

T1 = DATA

T1 = DATA (or 6) specifies which data are generated in the report in T2.
  • T2 = TEMPERATURE specifies that the solver reports the average, maximum, minimum temperatures, the difference between the maximum and minimum temperatures, and the temperature upper and lower limits on the selected elements.

Code example

The following code example is for the Heap Maps report.

THERMAL_REPORT 1 NAME "Report(2)"
THERMAL_REPORT 1 SELECTION PRIMARY Report2
THERMAL_REPORT 1 SHELL BOTH
THERMAL_REPORT 1 TYPE HEAT_MAP
THERMAL_REPORT 1 NON-GEOMETRIC 0

The following code example is for the Per Region report.

THERMAL_REPORT 2 NAME "Report(1)"
THERMAL_REPORT 2 SELECTION PRIMARY Report(
THERMAL_REPORT 2 SHELL BOTH
THERMAL_REPORT 2 TYPE PER_REGION
THERMAL_REPORT 2 DATA TEMPERATURE
