Structural Temperature Loads
Structural temperature loads are thermal loads resulting from a temperature change over a geometric entity or a set of geometric entities. This load is applied to curves or surfaces. If the model is an assembly, the structural load can be applied to specific assembly components.
The functions described in this section provide access to the data and contents of the structural temperature loads.
Functions Introduced:
The function
ProMechstructtempdataAlloc() allocates memory for the structural temperature load data.
The function
ProMechstructtempdataValueGet() returns a structure containing the temperature applied to the load and the variation of the load.
The function
ProMechstructtempdataValueSet() sets the value of the structural temperature data.
The function
ProMechstructtempdataReftempGet() returns the reference temperature of the structural temperature object. The reference temperature is the stress-free temperature for the model.
The function
ProMechstructtempdataReftempSet() sets the reference temperature of the structural temperature data.
The function
ProMechstructtempdataFree() releases the memory assigned to structural temperature load data.

Note:
|
From onward, the global and external temperature loads are converted to equivalent structural temperature loads. The functions previously available to access global and external temperature loads have been deprecated. The structural temperature load functions supersede the global and external temperature load functions.
