Add a conductive plate thermal assignment on a face.

Parameters:
face_idint or str or list

Integer indicating a face ID or a string indicating an object name. A list of face IDs or object names is also accepted.

thermal_specificationstr

Select what thermal specification is to be applied. The possible choices are "Thickness", "Conductance", "Thermal Impedance" and "Thermal Resistance"

thermal_dependent_datasetstr, optional

Name of the dataset if a thermal dependent power source is to be assigned. The default is None.

input_powerstr, float, or int, optional

Input power. The default is "0W". Ignored if thermal_dependent_dataset is set

radiate_lowbool, optional

Whether to enable radiation on the lower face. The default is False.

low_surf_materialstr, optional

Low surface material. The default is "Steel-oxidised-surface".

radiate_highbool, optional

Whether to enable radiation on the higher face. The default is False.

high_surf_materialstr, optional

High surface material. The default is "Steel-oxidised-surface".

shell_conductionstr, optional

Whether to enable shell conduction. The default is False.

thicknessstr, optional

Thickness value, relevant only if thermal_specification="Thickness". The default is "1mm".

thermal_conductancestr, optional

Thermal Conductance value, relevant only if thermal_specification="Conductance". The default is "0W_per_Cel".

thermal_resistancestr, optional

Thermal resistance value, relevant only if thermal_specification="Thermal Resistance". The default is "0Kel_per_W".

thermal_impedancestr, optional

Thermal impedance value, relevant only if thermal_specification="Thermal Impedance". The default is "0celm2_per_w".

solid_materialstr, optional

Material type for the wall. The default is "Al-Extruded".

bc_namestr, optional

Name of the plate. The default is None.

Returns:
pyaedt.modules.Boundary.BoundaryObject

Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
