External Temperature Loads
An external temperature load involves importing an externally calculated or measured temperature field as a temperature load. The external temperature field must contain connectivity of a linear solid element mesh, node locations, and temperature values at the nodes.
From
Creo Parametric onward, the external temperature loads are converted to equivalent structural temperature loads. The data structure
ProMechexttempdata for external temperature loads in
ProMechLoad.h has been deprecated. Functions previously available to access
Creo Simulate external temperature load have also been deprecated. Use the structural temperature load data structure
ProMechstructtempdata and the functions that access this data structure instead. For more information on structural load functions, see the section
Structural Temperature LoadsThe following functions are deprecated:
• ProMechexttempdataAlloc()
• ProMechexttempdataReftempGet()
• ProMechexttempdataReftempSet()
• ProMechexttempdataFemneutralfileGet()
• ProMechexttempdataFemneutralfileSet()
• ProMechexttempdataFree()
