Boundaries

Where it is

Section titled “Where it is”

Setup tree: Boundaries

Controls

Section titled “Controls”

BOUNDARIES

Section titled “BOUNDARIES”

＋ Temperature

Section titled “＋ Temperature”
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

＋ Flux

Section titled “＋ Flux”
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

＋ Convection

Section titled “＋ Convection”
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

Conditional and repeated groups

Section titled “Conditional and repeated groups”

Per item in ThermalState.boundaries

Section titled “Per item in ThermalState.boundaries”

repeated once for every entry in ThermalState.boundaries

Kind

Section titled “Kind”
  • Control: choice (ComboRow)
  • Options: Temperature, Flux, Convection, Radiation

Remove

Section titled “Remove”
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

Face

Section titled “Face”
  • Control: choice (ComboRow)

Heat flux

Section titled “Heat flux”

Label changes with the case; the source gives these forms: Heat flux, Temperature.

  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Value modes: none (plain entry)
  • Shown when: !parent.isConvection && !parent.isRadiation

The in-app guidance depends on the case:

  • Positive is heat going into the part.
  • Kelvin. 20 °C is 293.15 K.

Film coefficient h

Section titled “Film coefficient h”
  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Unit: W/m²/K
  • Value modes: none (plain entry)
  • Shown when: parent.isConvection

Still air is about 5, moving air 25, and water in the hundreds.

Surroundings

Section titled “Surroundings”

Label changes with the case; the source gives these forms: Surroundings, Ambient.

  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Unit: K
  • Value modes: none (plain entry)
  • Shown when: parent.isConvection || parent.isRadiation

Kelvin. 20 °C is 293.15 K.

Emissivity ε

Section titled “Emissivity ε”
  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Value modes: none (plain entry)
  • Shown when: parent.isRadiation

Infrared emissivity, 0 to 1 — not how the surface looks. Polished metal is about 0.05, oxidised steel 0.8, and almost any paint 0.9 whatever its colour.

Problems reported against this step

Section titled “Problems reported against this step”

The application reports no problems against this step.

… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
