Other nodes in Analysis › Boundary Condition:
  • ConvectionBC: Convective heat transfer BC (q = h·(T - T∞)) for thermal analysis.
  • FixedBC: Fixed (Dirichlet) boundary condition with per-axis DOF control.
  • ForceBC: Total force (vector) boundary condition, distributed over the boundary.
  • HeatFluxBC: Heat flux boundary condition (W/m², positive = into body) for thermal analysis.
  • HeatSource: Volumetric heat generation (W/m³) for thermal analysis, over the whole body or inside an optional region.
  • InletBC: Inlet boundary condition for flow analysis: a prescribed velocity or a prescribed pressure.
  • MomentBC: Moment (torque) boundary condition about an axis.
  • OutletBC: Outlet pressure boundary condition (traction-free outflow) for flow analysis.
