LOADTEMP

Apply a constant, linear or non-linear temperature load

The constant temperature load can directly be defined by the input of dT.

The linear and non-linear temperature load is referenced by the name of the respective property set of the type temperature gradient.

Note: The linear and the constant temperature load can theoretically also be used in parallel. In this case, the constant temperature load is additionally applied to the linear temperature load. However, when defining a non-linear temperature load, it is not allowed to input a constant temperature load at the same time (a respective warning would be given when recalculating).

Arguments

T

Input of the name of the property set of the type temperature gradient, in which the linear or non-linear temperature load to be calculated is defined.

dT

Magnitude of the constant temperature load [temperature]

See note above.

EXAMPLE / TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Example 1: Constant temperature load

Example 2: Linear gradient (temperature difference between top and bottom) defined in the property set "GradPos-Linear-Temp”
