RE: Radiation to Ambient flash3780 (Mechanical) It took me a minute or two to figure out the correct syntax. I hope that this helps someone out there.

Ansys verification manual how to#

If so, set my_CONVCOEF = -my_MATERIALNUMBER.ДЄs a bonus, the attached test case also has an example of how how to model radiation and convection across small gaps and how to model convection in an enclosure. The convective coefficient can be a function of temperature if defined as a material property. However, if you'd like to include convection to the ambient space node as well, SFE,ALL,1,CONV,1,my_CONVCOEF. The SF/SFE command is not required for radiation to an ambient space node. Set the temperature of the extra node ( D,NODE(X,Y,Z),TEMP,my_TEMP) Create surface elements associated with the extra node ( ESURF, NODE(X,Y,Z))ДҐ. Set the proper SURF152 real constants (1 & 2 for form factor & SB const)Д¤. Set the proper SURF152 keyopts (5 & 9 for extra node & radiation)ДЈ. Define the emissivity of the underlying elementsДў. Ok, well I got it worked out and I thought I'd post my test case (in case anyone else needs an example). There aren't any examples in the thermal analysis guide or the verification manual.ДЄnyhow, I'm pretty sure that this is just a syntax problem on my part I'd be really grateful if anyone out there's able to point out my error. I sometimes feel like thermal analysis is a second thought to ANSYS. well, less than helpful in this instance. Now, I could just use the radiosity solver on those surfaces, but I have a feeling RAD will be MUCH faster than RDSF. I do that, and it spits back another error requiring input from FLOTRAN. ANSYS spits back an error requiring me to set KEYOPT 5 to 1 (One extra node). I also set the element real constant to 1 (RMODIF,1000,1,1). I tried changing KEYOPT 9 to 1 (Use radiation with the form factor as a real constant). I've already got SURF152 elements on the exterior for convection, and I think that I can apply ambient radiation to those. I'd like to include radiation to ambient in my model.
