Static Thermal: Boundary Condition JSON Keys¶

Fixed¶

Fixed boundary conditions specify that the boundary is held at a constant temperature and can have a non-zero value.

{
  "boundary": "restraint.stl",
  "type": "fixed",
  "value": 293.15
}

Constant Flux¶

Specifies a heat flow per unit of surface area.

{
  "boundary": "face.ply",
  "magnitude": 28.0,
  "type": "constant_flux"
}

Convection¶

Specifies that transfer of heat from a surrounding medium

{
  "boundary": "thermal_plate.ply",
  "coefficient": 525.0,
  "environment_temperature": 343.15,
  "type": "convection"
}

Thermal Metadata¶

Thermal scenarios have an additional metadata value they must specify.

`environment_temperature`¶

The temperature of the surrounding environment.
