StructuralSurfaceActionThermal¶
Thermal load on surface elements
The thermal load on the surface elements (StructuralSurfaceMember). The variation of the thermal load can be constant or linear over the cross-section of the beam.

Data type |
Example / enum definition |
Required |
Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Name |
String |
LT1 |
yes |
Human readable unique name of the load |
Variation |
Enum |
Constant Linear |
yes |
Specifies how the temperature varies. Constant: The load is defined by means of a single value TempT. The value specifies the change in temperature of the 2D member (straight ΔT). Temperature change is constant along the cross-section. Linear: The load is defined by means of a set of two values TempT and TempB. The individual values specify the temperature change at individual surfaces - top and bottom of the 2D member. |
TempT [°C] |
Double |
18 |
yes |
Specifies the first size of the load in Celsius/Fahrenheit. For constant: Temperature change on the center plane For linear: Temperature change of the top surface (LCS direction +z) of 2D member |
TempB [°C] |
Double |
18 |
yes, if Variation = Linear |
Specifies the second size of the load in Celsius/Fahrenheit. For linear: Temperature change of the bottom surface (LCS direction -z) of 2D member |
2D Member |
String |
S15 |
yes |
The name of the StructuralSurfaceMember or StructuralSurfaceActionDistributionwhich is the surface load related to. |
2D Member Region |
String |
R1 |
yes, if on region |
The name of the StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion to which is the surface action related if it is available on 2D member. |
Load case |
String |
LC1 |
yes |
The name of the load case to which the load belongs |
Parent ID |
String |
67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320 |
no |
Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions. |
