Brick Attributes: Heat Flux
Description
Assigns a heat flux to selected faces of brick elements.
Applicable only to heat transfer analyses.
Models uniform heat flow normal to the brick face. A positive flux indicates heat flowing out of the element. A negative flux indicates heat is flowing in.
The heat flux can be scaled as a function of time and/or temperature.
Heat flux attributes are load case dependent.
