assign_solid_block#

Icepak.assign_solid_block(object_name, power_assignment, boundary_name=None, htc=None, ext_temperature='AmbientTemp')[source]#

Assign block boundary for solid objects.

Parameters:

object_namestr or list: Object name or a list of object names.
power_assignmentstr or dict or BoundaryDictionary: String with the value and units of the power assignment or with " If you don't want to assign a specific power but set a joule heating dissipation, use ``power_assignment="Joule Heating". Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. Assign a temperature-dependent condition using the result of a function with the create_temp_dep_assignment pattern.
boundary_namestr, optional: Name of the source boundary. The default is None, in which case the boundary name is automatically generated.
htcfloat, str, or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional: String with the value and units of the heat transfer coefficient for the external conditions. If a float is provided, the unit is "w_per_m2kel". Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern . Assign a temperature-dependent condition using the result of a function with the pattern create_temp_dep_assignment. The default is None, in which case no external condition is applied.
ext_temperaturefloat, str or dict or BoundaryDictionary, optional: String with the value and units of temperature for the external conditions. If a float is provided, the "cel" unit is used. Assign a transient condition using the result of a function with the create_*_transient_assignment pattern. The default is "AmbientTemp", which is used if the htc parameter is not set to None.

Returns:

pyaedt.modules.Boundary.BoundaryObject: Boundary object when successful or None when failed.
