Could anyone explain *how to* or give an example of receiving heat flow (watt) for the FE element?
I understand that *GET command is useful like
*GET, PAR, ELEM,NO_ELEM,...,SMICS
but can't get the result.
For example, I used PLANE77 or SOLID90 types of FE.
Ansys APDL: Receiving Resulting Heat Flow in Finite Element Analysis
To obtain the resulting heat flow (in watts) for a finite element (FE) element in Ansys APDL, you can use the *GET command and specific element parameters. Here's a basic example of how to achieve this:
1. Define the appropriate analysis type and options, ensuring that thermal analysis settings are configured correctly.
2. Use the *GET command to retrieve the desired heat flow information. Specify the necessary parameters to obtain the data related to heat flow across the desired FE element.
3. For example, suppose you're using PLANE77 or SOLID90 elements. You would specify the relevant element number and request the heat flow data using the *GET command. Ensure that you select the appropriate output data location where heat flow information is available.
4. Execute the command and review the output to obtain the resulting heat flow value for the specified FE element.
Here's a basic syntax example:
GET, Heat_Flow, ELEM, Element_Number, SMICS
Where:
Heat_Flow is the variable to store the resulting heat flow value.
Element_Number is the number of the FE element you're interested in.
SMICS is the parameter code indicating heat flow.
Adjust the command parameters according to your specific model and requirements.
Thank you, Timileyin!
I tried the solution you had proposed and I received the resulting heat flow on element. So the way you pointed out works.
But now I have another problem...
Why do the sum of individual heat flows in FE's is not equal to the sum of (internal heat generation in every FE multiplied by its volume (Q = Qv_FE*V_FE)?
