A thermal radiation exchanges heat between the model surface and the surroundings. Radiation does not take place between the model surfaces. You can define the value of the radiation constraint as a function of temperature.

The functions described in this section provide access to the data and contents of the Creo Simulate radiation constraints.

Functions Introduced:

The function ProMechradiationdataAlloc() allocates memory for the radiation load data.

The model emits and absorbs energy from the surroundings at a fixed ambient temperature. Use the function ProMechradiationdataAmbienttempExprGet() to get the value of the ambient temperature for the radiation constraint data. Use the function ProMechradiationdataAmbienttempExprSet() to set the value of the ambient temperature for the radiation constraint data.

The function ProMechradiationdataEmissivityGet() gets the emissivity value. Use the function ProMechradiationdataEmissivitySet() to set the emissivity value.

The function ProMechradiationdataTemperaturedependenceGet() returns the temperature variation of the radiation constraint. Use the function ProMechradiationdataTemperaturedependenceSet() to set the temperature variation of the radiation constraint.

The function ProMechradiationdataFree() releases the memory assigned to the radiation load data.
