Brick Attributes: Convection Ambient Temperature
Description
Assigns a convection ambient temperature to selected faces of brick elements.
Applicable only to heat transfer analysis.
Models uniform heat flow via convection through the brick face to or from an ambient environment. The attribute is paired with a brick convection coefficient attribute, which together define the heat flow rate.
The ambient temperature can be scaled as a function of time.
Face convection ambient temperature attributes are load case dependent.
Dialog
Value
Convection ambient temperature at the brick face.
Temperature vs Time table
