Icepak.assign_device_resistance(objects, boundary_name=None, total_power='0W', fluid='air', laminar=False, linear_loss=['1m_per_sec', '1m_per_sec', '1m_per_sec'], quadratic_loss=[1, 1, 1], linear_loss_free_area_ratio=[1, 1, 1], quadratic_loss_free_area_ratio=[1, 1, 1])[source]#

Assign resistance boundary condition using the device/approach model.

Parameters:

objectslist or str: A list of objects to which the resistance condition will be assigned. It can be a single object (a string) or multiple objects specified as a list.
boundary_namestr, optional: The name of the boundary object that will be created. If not provided, a unique name is generated. The default is None.
total_powerstr, float, or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional: The total power transferred to the fluid through the resistance volume. It is specified as a string with a value and unit or a float where the default unit "W" is used. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. The default is "0W".
fluidstr, optional: Material of the volume to which the resistance is being assigned. Default is "air".
laminarbool, optional: Whether the flow inside the volume must be treated as laminar or not. Default is False.
linear_losslist of floats or list of strings, optional: Three values representing the linear loss coefficients in the X, Y, and Z directions. These coefficients can be expressed as floats, in which case the default unit "m_per_sec" will be used, or as strings. Relevant only if loss_type=="Device". Default is "1m_per_sec" for all three directions.
quadratic_losslist of floats or list of strings, optional: Three values representing the quadratic loss coefficients in the X, Y, and Z directions. Relevant only if loss_type=="Device". Default is 1 for all three directions.
linear_loss_free_area_ratiolist of floats or list of strings, optional: Three values representing the linear loss free area ratio in the X, Y, and Z directions. Relevant only if loss_type=="Device". Default is 1 for all three directions.
quadratic_loss_free_area_ratiolist of floats or list of strings, optional: Three values representing the quadratic loss coefficient for each direction (X, Y, Z) in the loss model. Relevant only if loss_type=="Device". Default is 1 for all three directions.

Returns:

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