Icepak.assign_conducting_plate_with_resistance(obj_plate, boundary_name=None, total_power='0W', thermal_resistance='0Kel_per_W', shell_conduction=False, low_side_rad_material=None, high_side_rad_material=None)[source]#

Assign thermal boundary conditions with thermal resistance 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_resistancestr or float, optional: If thermal_specification="Thermal Resistance", this parameter represents the thermal resistance of the plate. The default is "0Kel_per_W". If a float, the default unit is "Kel_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.BoundaryObject: Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
