Hi

I need to apply a heat flux on a surface in ansys in order to simulate a moving heat source. I am using the command SFA,all,,hflux,200 .

would the unit of the value that I enter be W/m^2 of just W? does the W applied be divided by the area that it is applied to?



thanks

Stefano

Dear all,

I am a student at the unversity of  Malta. Currenly I am working on my dissertation titled; laser forming of thin metal plate. My study is more focous on stainless steel AISI304.

I required data of temperature dependent properties(density, thermal,expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and yield stress). I found some websites which can provide me this data, however it is very expansive.

Can pls someone provide me this data?

 Thanks in advance

Stefano
