assign_hollow_block#
- Icepak.assign_hollow_block(object_name, assignment_type, assignment_value, boundary_name=None, external_temperature='AmbientTemp')#
Assign block boundary for hollow objects.
- Parameters:
- object_name
str
orlist
Object name or a list of object names.
- assignment_type
str
Type of the boundary assignment. Options are
"Heat Transfer Coefficient"
,"Heat Flux"
,"Temperature"
, and"Total Power"
.- assignment_value
str
ordict
orBoundaryDictionary
String with a value and units of the assignment. If
"Total Power"
is the assignment type,"Joule Heating"
can be used. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with thecreate_*_transient_assignment
pattern. Assign a temperature-dependent condition using the result of a function with the patterncreate_temp_dep_assignment
.- boundary_name
str
,optional
Name of the source boundary. The default is
None
, in which case the boundary is automatically generated.- external_temperature
str
,dict
orfloat
orBoundaryDictionary
,optional
String with the value and unit of the temperature for the heat transfer coefficient. If a float value is specified, the
"cel"
unit is automatically added. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with thecreate_*_transient_assignment
pattern. The default is"AmbientTemp"
.
- object_name
- Returns:
ansys.aedt.core.modules.boundary.BoundaryObject
Boundary object when successful or
None
when failed.
