Point Heat Source
This node, available for 3D components, models a heat source (or sink) that is so small that it can be considered to have no spatial extension.
In theory, the temperature in a point source in 3D is plus infinity (to compensate for the fact that the heat source does not have a spatial extension). The finite element discretization used in COMSOL Multiphysics returns a finite value, but that value must be interpreted in a weak sense.
Point Heat Source
Enter the Point heat source Qp in unit power. A positive Qp corresponds to heating while a negative Qp corresponds to cooling.
Frame Selection
This section is not available if the Specify heat source radius option is disabled. The settings are the same as for the Heat Source node and are described under Frame Selection.
