User Manual

BCs - Heated Volume:

This functionality allows the user to assign heat source ( Constant, Volumetric, Temperature dependent) to a solid region. Please refer to the main Boundary Conditions page for an explanation of the standard components of the boundary condition forms.

 
Heated Volume can either be associated to blocks (Associated to Geometry) or a spatial 3-D region (Specified Region). Selecting a solid will simply add all of the blocks of that solid to the heated volume.
The heat input can be Total heat or Volumetric heat ( heat/unit volume). In the latter case the volumetric heat will be multiplied by the solid region volume to calculate the total heat input.
