Elements in TEMPF files

Elements in TEMPF files

Elements in TEMPF files

(OP)
Hi,

I am new to NX. I am trying to perform a thermal analysis on a solid block, having load and temperature as load and constraint.

After a solution is completed, I saw in the TEMPF file, in addition to the element present in my mesh, extra elements are generated. What are they used for? I am just trying to understand how the files and read and generated in a simulation.

Thanks!
Elaine

RE: Elements in TEMPF files

Hi Elaine,

TEMPF, according to the NX documentation, contains the ambient temperature of the control volume. For a new analysis, the thermal solver uses the fluid temperature that you specify on ambient condition tab. For a restart, the solver checks if a TEMPF file exists in the Restart File Location and uses it to define initial temperature distribution.

Kind regards,
Tuw
