11.8 Defining concentrated convective and radiative behavior

Product: ABAQUS/CAE  

Benefits: The addition of concentrated film and radiation behavior to ABAQUS/CAE increases the coverage of ABAQUS analysis product functionality.

Description: Concentrated film and radiation thermal interactions, previously available in ABAQUS/Standard and ABAQUS/Explicit, can be defined in ABAQUS/CAE. You can define convective and radiative interactions about a selected vertex or set of vertices in your model and about a node or node set in an orphan mesh. Concentrated thermal interactions are available in addition to existing distributed (surface-based) thermal interactions.

ABAQUS/CAE Usage: 
Interaction module:
   InteractionCreate: choose interaction type: Concentrated film condition or 
   Concentrated radiation to ambient
