BFESCAL
BFESCAL, Lab, FACT, TBASE
Scales element body-force loads.
LabValid body load label. If ALL, use all appropriate labels.
Discipline Body Load Label Label Description Structural TEMP temperature FLUE fluence Thermal HGEN heat generation rate Magnetic TEMP temperature JS current densities MVDI magnetic virtual displacements flag Electric TEMP temperature CHRGD charge density Diffusion DGEN diffusing substance generation rate FACTScale factor for the element body load values. Zero (or blank) defaults to 1.0. Use a small number for a "zero" scale factor. The scale factor is not applied to body load phase angles.
TBASEBase temperature for temperature difference. Used only with
Lab= TEMP. Scale factor is applied to the temperature difference (T-TBASE) and then added toTBASE.Tis the current temperature.
Notes
Scales element body-force loads on the selected elements in the database. Issue the BFELIST command to list the element body loads. Solid model boundary conditions are not scaled by this command, but boundary conditions on the FE model are scaled. (Note that such scaled FE boundary conditions may still be overwritten by unscaled solid model boundary conditions if a subsequent boundary condition transfer occurs.)
BFESCAL does not work for tabular boundary conditions.
This command is also valid in PREP7.
