Heat Loads on Internal Surfaces
In Creo Simulate you can apply heat loads to internal as well as external surfaces. The following illustration shows two kinds of internal surfaces to which you can apply heat loads:
• A surface that is mated to another surface—surface region bc or the internal portion of mated surface ab.
• An internal surface of a volume region—the bottom surface of volume region d.
To define a heat load for surface a, which would also include the mated portion of the surface, you would select surface a as the reference.
To define a heat load for mated surface bc, you would first create a divide surface feature for the portion of surface c that is mated to surface b.
To define a heat load for the bottom surface of volume region d, you would first create the volume region.
