After running a thermal study, you can plot the following quantities:
| TEMP |
Temperature |
| GRADX |
Temperature gradient in the X-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| GRADY |
Temperature gradient in the Y-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| GRADZ |
Temperature gradient in the Z-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| GRADN |
Resultant temperature gradient = [(GRADX)2 + (GRADY)2 + (GRADZ)2](1/2) |
| HFLUXX |
Heat flux in the X-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| HFLUXY |
Heat flux in the Y-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| HFLUXZ |
Heat flux in the Z-direction of the selected reference geometry |
| HFLUXN |
Resultant heat flux = [(HFLUXX)2 + (HFLUXY)2 + (HFLUXZ)2](1/2) |
Where:
X, Y, and Z refer to the global coordinate system. If you choose a reference geometry, these directions refer to the selected reference entity.
The program also lists the heat power or heat energy (for transient thermal analysis only) of the thermal equilibrium calculations.
