Static Thermal: Material JSON Keys

Static thermal requires the scenario json object to have "type": "StaticThermal".

Materials

All materials need a density value, and can optionally include a "units": member. Note that all materials will be specified in MKS unless units are specified.

ThermalMaterial

Thermal materials must specify conductivity and specific heat. A coefficient of thermal expansion can be optionally specified using the expansion_coefficient field. This example is for steel.

{
  "density": 1200.0,
  "specific_heat": 1100.0,
  "thermal_conductivity": 0.17,
  "type": "Thermal"
}
