8.4 Enhancements to distributed body heat flux

Products: Abaqus/CFD Abaqus/CAE

Benefits: Nonuniform distributed body fluxes can now be defined in an Abaqus/CFD model in Abaqus/CAE, which increases the coverage of Abaqus product functionality.

Description: Previously, only uniform distributions for distributed body heat fluxes were available in Abaqus/CAE for an Abaqus/CFD analysis. You can now select an analytical field or a discrete field to define a spatially varying load.

Abaqus/CAE Usage:

All modules:
    ModelCreate; Model type: CFD
Load module:
    Create Load; Category: Thermal, Type: Body heat flux; Distribution: select analytical field 
    or discrete field
