Icepak.assign_conducting_plate_with_thickness(obj_plate, boundary_name=None, total_power='0W', thickness='1mm', solid_material='Al-Extruded', shell_conduction=False, low_side_rad_material=None, high_side_rad_material=None)[source]#

Assign thermal boundary conditions with thickness specification to a conducting plate.

Parameters:

obj_platestr or int or list: Object to assign the boundary to. If a string, specify a surface name. If an integer, specify a face ID.
boundary_namestr, optional: Boundary name. The default is None, in which case a name is generated automatically.
total_powerstr or float or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional: Power dissipated by the plate. The default is "0W". If a float, the default unit is "W". Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern.
thicknessstr or float, optional: If thermal_specification="Thickness", this parameter represents the thickness to model with the plate. The default is "1mm". If a float, the default unit is "mm".
solid_materialstr, optional: If thermal_specification="Thickness", this parameter represents the material of the conducting plate. The default is "Al-Extruded".
shell_conductionbool, optional: Whether to consider shell conduction. The default is False.
low_side_rad_materialstr, optional: Material on the low side for radiation. The default is None, in which case radiation is disabled on the low side.
high_side_rad_materialstr, optional: Material on the high side for radiation. The default is None, in which case radiation is disabled on the high side.

Returns:

ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.BoundaryObject: Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
