Comments

  1. EID2 identifies the heat conduction element associated with this surface element.

    CBEAM CQUAD8 CPENTA
    CONROD CTRIA3 CPYRA
    CROD CTIRA6 CTETRA
    Conduction elements for heat transfer analysis
  2. All conduction elements that are to have a boundary condition applied must be individually identified with the application of a surface element entry CHBDYE.
  3. Side conventions for 3D elements.
    Sides are numbered consecutively according to the order of the grid point numbers on the 3D element entry. The sides of 3D elements are either quadrilaterals or triangles. For each element type, the side numbers are:

  4. Side conventions for 2D elements.
    2D elements have one side of type AREA (this is Side 1) and 3 or 4 sides of type LINE.
    AREA
    Side 1 is that given by the right hand rule on the shell's gird points.
    LINE
    The second side (first line) is from grid point 1 to grid point 2, and the remaining lines are numbered consecutively. The thickness of the line is that of the shell, and the normal to the line is outward from the shell in the plane of the shell.
    Note: Midside nodes are ignored in the specification.
  5. Side conventions for 1D elements.
    1D elements have one linear side (Side 1) with geometry that is the same as that of the element and two POINT type sides, corresponding to the two points bounding the linear element (first grid point side 2; second grid point side 3).
    POINT
    Point sides may be used with any linear element. The direction of the outward normals of these points is in line with the element axis; but pointing away from the element. The area assigned to these POINT type sides is consistent with the element geometry.

    Boundary conditions (QBDY1) are applied to CHBDYE through reference of the EID.
