Heat Load (Simcenter Samcef)
With the Heat Load load, you can apply:
A concentrated power on nodes. You can define a time-dependent load or a spatially distributed load.
A power on elements or faces. You can define a time-dependent and/or temperature-dependent load, or a spatially distributed one.
Where do I find it?
