evaluate_boundary_quantity#

PostProcessorIcepak.evaluate_boundary_quantity(boundary, quantity, side='Default', volume=False, setup_name=None, variations=None, ref_temperature='', time='0s')[source]#

Export the field output on a boundary.

Parameters:

boundarystr: Name of boundary to perform the computation on.
quantitystr: Name of the quantity to export.
sidestr, optional: Side of the mesh face to use. The default is "Default". Options are "Adjacent", "Combined", and "Default".
volumebool, optional: Whether to compute the quantity on the volume or on the surface. The default is False, in which case the quantity will be evaluated only on the surface .
setup_namestr, optional: Name of the setup and name of the sweep. For example, "IcepakSetup1 : SteatyState". The default is None, in which case the active setup and active sweep are used.
variationsdict, optional: Dictionary of parameters defined for the specific setup with values. The default is {}.
ref_temperaturestr, optional: Reference temperature to use for heat transfer coefficient computation. The default is "".
timestr, optional: Timestep to get the data from. Default is "0s".

Returns:

dict: Output dictionary, which depending on the quantity chosen, contains one of these sets of keys: - "Min", "Max", "Mean", "Stdev", and "Unit" - "Total" and "Unit"
