Thermal Conductivity Tab

The material's thermal conductivity is set on this tab.

It is in the [Edit Material Property] dialog box. See [How to Set Body Attribute/Material Property].

 

 

 

Setting Item

Notes

Anisotropy

Specifies either Isotropic or Anisotropic.

Temperature Dependency

 

Sets either No or Yes.

If Yes is set, when clicking , [Temperature-Thermal conductivity] Table (isotropic) or

[Temperature-Anisotropic Thermal Conductivity] Table (anisotropic) will show up. Enter the data here.

 

Click the Graph button to see the graph of entered data.

At least two data for [Temperature] and [Thermal conductivity] respectively are required

to draw a graph.

 

Thermal Conductivity

 

Enterable when Temperature dependency is No and Anisotropy is Isotropic.

 

The significand is a real number greater than 0.

 

Thermal Conductivity Matrix

 

Enterable when Temperature dependency is No and Anisotropy is anisotropic.

 

 

A real number equal to or greater than 0 is enterable for X, Y, and Z. Entering 0 is not allowed for X, Y, and Z.

Direction of the anisotropic material depends on the setting on the [Direction] tab of body attribute.

With the default setting on the Direction tab, (x, y, z) in the above figure matches with (X, Y, Z) of the modeling window.
