The FluidThermalEnergy object stores the data for fluid thermal energy predefined fields. This predefined field is applicable only when an energy equation has been selected in a flow step.
The FluidThermalEnergy object is derived from the PredefinedField object.
import load mdb.models[name].predefinedFields[name]
This method creates a FluidThermalEnergy object.
mdb.models[name].FluidThermalEnergy
Required arguments
A String specifying the repository key.
A String specifying the name of the step in which the predefined field is created.
A Region specifying the domain of the fluid thermal energy. Use 'None' to specify the whole model.
Optional arguments
A Float specifying the fluid temperature. The default value is 0.0.
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the load is uniform. Possible values are MAGNITUDE, ANALYTICAL_FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is MAGNITUDE.
Return value
A FluidThermalEnergy object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the FluidThermalEnergy object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the FluidThermalEnergy method, except for the name and createStepName arguments.
Return value
Exceptions
The FluidThermalEnergy object can have the following members:
A String specifying the repository key.
A Float specifying the fluid temperature. The default value is 0.0.
A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the load is uniform. Possible values are MAGNITUDE, ANALYTICAL_FIELD, and DISCRETE_FIELD. The default value is MAGNITUDE.
A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField object associated with this predefined field. The field argument applies only when distributionType=ANALYTICAL_FIELD. The default value is an empty string.
A Region object specifying the region to which the predefined field is applied.
