This section is available when a temperature-dependent density defined in a material is used. On the material frame, the density is evaluated in relation to a reference temperature in order to ensure conservation of the mass in the presence of temperature variations. By default the Common model input is used. This corresponds to the variable
minput.Tempref, which is set to 293.15 K by default. To edit it, click the
Go to Source button (
), and in the
Default Model Inputs node under
Global Definitions, set a value for the
Volume reference temperature in the
Expression for remaining selection section.
The other options are User defined and all temperature variables from the physics interfaces included in the model.
This section is available when material properties are temperature-dependent. By default, the temperature of the parent interface is used and the section is not editable. To edit the Temperature field, click
Make All Model Inputs Editable (
). The available options are
User defined (default),
Common model input (the
minput.T variable, set to 293.15 K by default) and all temperature variables from the physics interfaces included in the model. To edit the
minput.T variable, click the
Go to Source button (
), and in the
Default Model Inputs node under
Global Definitions, set a value for the
Temperature in the
Expression for remaining selection section.
The default Thermal conductivity k uses values
From material. For
User defined select
Isotropic,
Diagonal,
Symmetric, or
Full based on the characteristics of the thermal conductivity and enter another value or expression in the field or matrix.
When the material and spatial frames differ (due to the presence in the model of a Moving Mesh node, or a Solid Mechanics interface for example), you can select on which frame the thermal conductivity is specified.
By default the Deformation model for thermal conductivity is set to
Standard. With this option, the thermal conductivity is supposed to be given on the material frame. If the material frame does not coincide with the spatial frame, a conversion is applied to get the variables
ht.kxx,
ht.kyy, and so on. This option is often suitable for moderate elastic strains.
By selecting the Large strain option, the thermal conductivity is supposed to be given on the spatial frame. In case of isotropic materials, the thermal conductivity variables
ht.kxx,
ht.kyy, and so on, are directly equal to the values you have set. In case of anisotropic materials, the rotation of the material is also taken into account following
where R is the rotation matrix between the material and the spatial frames.
The default Density ρ and
Heat capacity at constant pressure Cp are taken
From material. See
Material Density in Features Defined in the Material Frame if a temperature-dependent density should be set.
For User defined enter other values or expressions.
