Edge-to-Edge Gluing dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Thermal)

Name
Name Sets the name of the gluing constraint that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Objects Container node.
Description Sets the description.
Destination Folder
Simulation Objects Container Lets you specify the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the gluing constraint will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Source Region (slave)
Source Region Lets you select a source region (edges) to be glued. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Target Region (master)
Target Region Lets you select a target region to be glued. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Gluing Option
Type Specifies the type of gluing:PerfectClassical gluing as in structural analysis (Samcef .STICK command).Interface ConductanceTrue thermal gluing (Samcef .PRITT command).In this gluing, the conservation of the normal heat flux and heat transfer across the contact region is ensured.
Parameters
Appears when the Type list for gluing options is set to Perfect.
Parameters Specifies the perfect gluing general parameters.For more details, see Gluing parameters (STICK) dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
Magnitude
Appears when the Type list for gluing options is set to Interface Conductance.
Type Lets you choose between Total Conductance or Total Resistance.
Conductance Appears when the magnitude Type is set to Total Conductance.Sets the interface conductance.For more information, see the COI parameter of the Samcef .CLT command.
Resistance Appears when the magnitude Type is set to Total Resistance.Sets the interface thermal resistance.For more information, see the TRES parameter of the Samcef .CLT command.
Emissivity Sets the radiation emissivity factor.For more information, see the EMI parameter of the Samcef .CLT command.
Gray Body View Factor Sets the radiation view factor.For more information, see the FVIE parameter of the Samcef .CLT command.
Advanced Options
Appears when the Type list for gluing options is set to Interface Conductance.
Normal Distance (REFERENCE) Sets the out-of-plane distance between the slave node and the master facet barycenter beyond which the node is not projected on the facet.For more information, see the REFERENCE parameter of the Samcef .PRITT command.
Tangential Distance (CRITERE 1 PRECT) Sets the tangential distance between the slave node and the master facet edges beyond which the node is not projected on the facet.For more information, see the CRITERE 1 PRECT parameters of the Samcef .PRITT command.
User Defined Parameters Lets you manually define .STICK/.PRITT parameters.Note: The added text must be compliant with the Samcef Command Language terminology. For more information, see the Samcef documentation.Note: This property may be filled during the import a Samcef bank if some imported parameters are unknown to this simulation object.
Output Requests
Appears when the Type list for gluing options is set to Interface Conductance.
Gluing Results Lets you define specific gluing results.
Ancillary Display
For more details, see Ancillary Display dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
Card Name Displays the name of the solver card this object will write to : .STICK/.PRITT .
