Description
Thermal load: forced volumetric heat flux (volumetric heat source).
Use this for applying a heat flux [W/m^3] inside a volume of finite elements, as a per-volume scalar flux for thermal analysis (ex. generated by resistors via Joule effect, or radiative absorption, or chemical reactions in the bulk material).

overridevirtual |
Evaluate F = F(u,v,w) for this line load.
The vector F is set to zero on entry. The function provided by derived classes is called by ComputeQ to perform integration over the domain.
- Parameters
-
U parametric coordinate in volume V parametric coordinate in volume W parametric coordinate in volume F result vector, size = field dim of loadable state_x if != 0, update state (pos. part) to this, then evaluate F state_w if != 0, update state (speed part) to this, then evaluate F
