Icepak.assign_conducting_plate_with_impedance(obj_plate: str | int | list, boundary_name: str | None = None, total_power: str | float | dict | BoundaryDictionary | None = '0W', thermal_impedance: str | float | None = '0celm2_per_W', shell_conduction: bool | None = False, low_side_rad_material: str | None = None, high_side_rad_material: str | None = None) → BoundaryObject | None

Assign thermal boundary conditions with thermal impedance 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.

thermal_impedancestr or float, optional

If thermal_specification="Thermal Impedance", this parameter represents the thermal impedance of the plate. The default is "0Cel_m2_per_W". If a float, the default unit is “Cel_m2_per_W".

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.common.BoundaryObject

Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
