Thermal load on the beam
The thermal load on the line elements (StructuralCurveMember, StructuralCurveMemberRib). The variation of the thermal load can be constant or linear over the cross-section of the beam.
| Column header | Data type | Example / enum definition | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | String | LT1 | yes | Human readable unique name of the load |
| Force action | Enum | On beam On rib |
yes | Specifies on which type of object the load acts. |
| Variation | Enum | Constant Linear |
yes | Specifies how the temperature varies Constant: The load is defined by means of a single value deltaT. The value specifies the warming to which the 1D member is subject to. Linear: The load is defined by means of a set of four values. The individual values specify the temperature at individual sides (left, right, top, bottom) of the 1D member. |
| deltaT [°C] | Double | 5 | yes; if Variation = Constant | Temperature delta in Celsius/Fahrenheit on the centre line of the member. *See note to clarify the position. |
| TempL [°C] | Double | 5 | yes, if Variation = Linear | The temperature on the left side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position. |
| TempR [°C] | Double | 18 | yes, if Variation = Linear | Temperature on right side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position. |
| TempT [°C] | Double | 5 | yes, if Variation = Linear | Temperature on top side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position. |
| TempB [°C] | Double | 5 | yes, if Variation = Linear | Temperature on bottom side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position. |
| Member | String | B11 | yes, if Force action = On beam | The name of the StructuralCurveMember on which the load is applied |
| Member Rib | String | B10 | yes, if Force action = On rib | The name of the StructuralCurveMemberRib on which the load is applied |
| Load case | String | LC1 | yes | The name of the load case to which the load belongs |
| Coordinate definition | Enum | Absolute Relative |
yes | Selects the coordinate system that is used to define the length of the line load. Relative means without units. To define length of the load in meters input absolute |
| Origin | Enum | From start From end |
yes | Specifies the origin of the coordinate system used for the definition of the length of the load |
| Start point [m] | Double | value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 0,0 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 0,0 |
yes | Defines the position of the start point of the load in relative or absolute coordinates |
| End point [m] | Double | value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 5,25 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 1,0 |
yes | Defines the position of the end point of the load in relative or absolute coordinates |
| Parent ID | String | 67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320 | no | Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions. |
| Id | String | 39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39 | no | Unique attribute designation |
Reference to surfaces of cross-section where linear temperature can be applied. View is towards the direction of center axis (looking from end point towards start point).
