Create a thermal rotational periodicity

Create a conductive type

Choose Thermal Rotational Periodicity .

From the Type list, select Conductive.

Select the faces for the master region.

In the Slave Region group, click Select Object .

Select the faces for the slave region.

Set the following:

  1. Revolve Axis group, Specify Vector row

  2. Inferred Vector list = YC

  3. Click OK.

Create a radiative type

Choose Thermal Rotational Periodicity .

Set the following:

  1. Type list = Radiative

  2. Periodicity Specification group

  3. Periodicity list = Sector Angle

  4. Sector Angle = 30 degrees

  5. Revolve Axis group, Specify Vector row

  6. Inferred Vector list = YC

  7. Click OK.
