What it does: Applies a total heat generation power to a selected region. Common uses:
  • A boundary condition in a thermal analysis.
Tips:
  • The quantity of heat generation is distributed across the entities based on the volume fraction.
  • The Magnitude is the Power of the heat generation. The basic units shown for this input are g-mm^2/s^3. These are the basic units for W or J/s.
