The Heat Power/Energy PropertyManager lists the heat power or heat energy of the thermal equilibrium calculations. It also lists the net heat power or heat energy that is entering or leaving the system. Listing of heat energy is available for transient thermal studies only.
To display this PropertyManager, create a Thermal Simulation study. Right-click Results 
and select List Heat Power/Energy.
Options
| Heat Power |
|
| Heat Energy |
Available for transient thermal studies only. Heat energy is calculated as the area under the heat power - time curve.
|
Selection
| Unit |
 |
Selects the heat power or heat energy unit. |
| Select Faces, Edges or Vertices |
 |
Selects faces, edges, or vertices of solids and shells to list the heat flow. |
| Components |
 |
Selects the entire assembly or components to list the heat flow. |
Summary
All thermal equilibrium results are listed at the nodes.
| Power In, Energy In |
Lists the heat power or heat energy that flows through the selected entities. |
| Power Out, Energy Out |
Lists the heat power or heat energy that flows out of the selected entities. |
| Net Power, Net Energy |
Lists the net heat power or the net heat energy for the selected entities and the entire model.
If heat power is applied to a part with multiple bodies, the software adds the positive (flowing through the body) and negative (flowing out of the body) heat power for each body. The total heat power flowing in and out of all bodies is listed under the Entire Model.
For steady state thermal analysis, the net heat power flow is zero for the entire model.
A positive net heat energy indicates heat gain, whereas a negative heat energy indicates heat loss.
