Radiative source flux output requests
This table list the available output result sets that you can request from the thermal solver in Thermal/Flow, Electronic Systems Cooling, or Multiphysics.
| Output request type | Result set in Post Processing Navigator | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Absorbed Fluxes | Absorbed Radiative Flux, ALBEDO — Elemental | Radiative flux that is absorbed by the object surface coming from the Earth due to atmospheric and surface reflectivity. |
| Absorbed Radiative Flux, SUN — Elemental | Radiative flux that is absorbed by the object surface coming from direct solar radiation. | |
| Absorbed Radiative Flux, [Radiative Heating simulation object name] — Elemental | Radiative flux that is absorbed by the elements selected in each Radiative Heating simulation object coming from all sources. | |
| Incident Fluxes | Incident Radiative Flux, ALBEDO — Elemental | Radiative flux that is received by the object surface coming from the Earth due to atmospheric and surface reflectivity. |
| Incident Radiative Flux, SUN — Elemental | Radiative flux that is received by the object surface coming from direct solar radiation. | |
| Incident Radiative Flux, [Radiative Heating simulation object name] — Elemental | Radiative flux that is received by the elements selected in each Radiative Heating simulation object coming from all sources. | |
| Transmitted Fluxes | Transmitted Radiative Flux, ALBEDO — Elemental | Radiative flux that is transmitted through the object surface with transparent materials coming from the Earth due to atmospheric and surface reflectivity. |
| Transmitted Radiative Flux, SUN — Elemental | Radiative flux that is transmitted through the object surface with transparent materials coming from direct solar radiation. | |
| Transmitted Radiative Flux, [Radiative Heating simulation object name] — Elemental | Radiative flux that is transmitted through the elements with transparent materials selected in each Radiative Heating simulation object coming from all sources. | |
| Reflected Fluxes | Reflected Radiative Flux, ALBEDO — Elemental | Radiative flux that is reflected by the object surface coming from the Earth due to atmospheric and surface reflectivity. |
| Reflected Radiative Flux, SUN — Elemental | Radiative flux that is reflected by the object surface coming from direct solar radiation. | |
| Reflected Radiative Flux, [Radiative Heating simulation object name] — Elemental | Radiative flux that is reflected by the elements selected in each Radiative Heating simulation object coming from all sources. |
Note:
All result sets are elemental results computed at element’s center of gravity.
Results sets marked with ALBEDO or SUN are generated when you have a Solar Heating simulation object in your solution.
