In addition, select the Restrict to layered boundaries check box to make the node applicable only if a layered material is defined on the boundary. If a layered material (
Material with
Layer thickness specified,
Single Layer Material,
Layered Material Link, or
Layered Material Stack) is available, its name is then displayed beside the boundary index (for example,
slmat1), otherwise the boundary is marked as not applicable.
Note that when the Shell type is
Nonlayered shell in the
Shells Properties section of the parent interface, the
Restrict to layered boundaries check box is not editable.
This section is available only when the Shell type is
Layered shell in the
Shells Properties section of the parent physics interface.
The available options in the Apply to list are
Top interface,
Bottom interface,
Exterior interfaces,
Interior interfaces,
All interfaces, and
Selected interfaces. With the last option you can select any set of interfaces for a given layered material, by clearing the check boxes corresponding to layer interfaces where the node should not be applied in the
Selection table. The top and bottom interfaces refer respectively to the upside and downside of the boundary, defined from the orientation of the normal vector. See
Interface selections for details about the interfaces identification.
For User defined, enter a value or expression for the
Temperature T0. Else, select an
Ambient temperature defined in an
Ambient Properties node under
Definitions.
The equation for this condition is T = T0 where
T0 is the prescribed temperature.
