Figure 15.17: Description of parameters in the Convection property dialog

Parameter	Symbol	Description	Dimension (Range)
1. Name	N/A	Use to set a name of Convection.	N/A
2. Type	N/A	Use to set the function expression or user subroutine. For the function expression, the convection can be calculated by the convection coefficient and ambient temperature.	N/A
3. Target	N/A	Use to set a target on which the convection is applied by General Picker. The target can be defined as the patchset or faceset.	N/A
4. Convection Coefficient		Use to set the convection coefficient with the function expression.	Power/Length^2*Temperature (N/A)
5. Ambient Temperature		Use to set the ambient temperature with the function expression.	Temperature (N/A)
6. Convection Matrix	N/A	Use to set the way to construct the convection matrix. "Diagonal" or "Consistent" is available. For the "Diagonal", the diagonal term of full convection matrix is only used to solve the thermal analysis. For the "Consistent", the full convection matrix is used to solve the thermal analysis.	N/A
7. Control buttons	N/A	If all necessary parameters are set, the buttons are enabled. If you want to know the control buttons, refer to Entity Properties Access and Modification.	N/A
