Select Function of Arc Length from the Spatial Variation drop-down list of the Heat Load dialog box to define the heat load as a function of arc length for a single curve, a composite curve, or an edge. This option is not available for intent curves or for multiple edges or curves. An arrow on the selected edge or curve indicates the direction in which the arc length is measured. Click the arrow to reverse the direction of the measurement.

Click

to open the Functions dialog box . You can create a symbolic or a table function using an independent variable s, where s is the arc length of the selected curve or the edge.

Function of Arc Length is available only when you select Edges/Curves from the References list. It is not available when you select intent curves or multiple edges or curves.
