Define a heat flux load (Abaqus)

1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Heat Flux .

2. In the Heat Flux dialog box, from the type list, select one of the following:DFLUX — Apply distributed fluxes to polygon faces or element faces. DSFLUX — Apply distributed fluxes to surface regions. CFLUX — Apply a concentrated heat flux to any node or set of nodes.

3. Depending on the type of heat flux you selected, select the objects to which to apply the heat flux. It you selected DFLUX or CFLUX, in the Model Objects group, click Select Object and select the geometry or FE entity to which to apply the heat flux constraint. If you selected DSFLUX, in the Surface group, select the surface or surface regions, or click Create Region to create new surface regions.

4. In the Magnitude group, define the heat flux magnitude in one of these ways:Select Expression to use a constant value or expression to define the magnitude. For more information, see Expressions. Select Field to define a heat flux magnitude that varies with time or temperature. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

5. Click OK.
