Ansys: W or W/m^2 | iMechanica

Submitted by stefano cassar on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 21:10

I need to apply a heat flux on a surface in ansys in order to simulate a moving heat source. I am using the command SFA,all,,hflux,200 .

would the unit of the value that I enter be W/m^2 of just W? does the W applied be divided by the area that it is applied to?

thanks

According to Verification Manual VM147, you don`t have to divide Heat flux by m^2, it must be given in W/m^2 as initial condition.
