17.6.7.2.9. Imported Heat Flux

When thermal heat is transferred to a thermal environment, an Imported Heat Flux object can be inserted to represent the transfer.

For applicable transfers or for specific steps to transfer data, see the Imported Boundary Conditions section.


Note:  For surface bodies, the thickness of each target node is ignored when data is mapped. When importing data from an External Data system, the Shell Thickness Factor property enables you to account for the thickness at each target node, and consequently modify the location used for each target node during the mapping process. For additional information, see External Data.
