Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Relatively simple configurations were selected for these verification problems to ensure that analytical solutions or tabulated results could be found. In some cases certain parameters such as the distance between two surfaces or the number of elements on a surface were varied to illustrate the effects of these parameters on viewfactor calculations within ABAQUS. To duplicate the tabulated results for the cases where parameters were varied, the user can modify the input files provided with the ABAQUS release.
In xrvd24n4.inp can be varied to obtain the following results (in xrvd24m4.inp the angle is varied with the *MOTION, ROTATION option):
One DC2D4 element is used to discretize each surface of the cavity; 60°.
One DC2D4 element is used to discretize each surface of the cavity; the *MOTION, ROTATION option is used to vary the angle between the plates.
