Nodes-to-Surface 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 | Specifies 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 (nodes) 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 gluing option Type is set to Perfect. | |
| Parameters | Lets you define the perfect gluing general parameters.For more details, see Gluing parameters (STICK) dialog box (Simcenter Samcef) |
| Magnitude | |
| Appears when the gluing option Type 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.Lets you define 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.Lets you define the interface thermal resistance.For more information, see the TRES parameter of the Samcef .CLT command. |
| Emissivity | Lets you define the radiation emissivity factor.For more information, see the EMI parameter of the Samcef .CLT command. |
| Gray Body View Factor | Lets you define the radiation view factor.For more information, see the FVIE parameter of the Samcef .CLT command. |
| Advanced Options | |
| Appears when the gluing option Type is set to Interface Conductance. | |
| Normal Distance (REFERENCE) | Lets you define 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) | Lets you define 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 Samcef .PRITT command. |
| Projection | Specifies the type of special projection algorithm used to project a beam's extremity definition node:Project NodeOnly the definition node is projected.Project ProfileSeveral computation points are added to the projection to ensure a accurate gluing between the master facet and the beam's real profile. |
| **Number of points through the thickness (NDIS1)**Number of points along a profile's branch (NDIS2) | Appears when the Projection list is set to Projection Profile.Lets you define the additional computation points distribution along the beam's profile.For more information, see the NDIS parameter 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 gluing option Type is set to Interface Conductance. | |
| Gluing Results | Lets you define specific gluing results.For more information, see the MACRO element in the Simcenter Samcef solver documentation. |
| 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 . |
