StructuralSurfaceActionThermal

Thermal load on surface elements

The thermal load on the surface elements (StructuralSurfaceMember). The variation of the thermal load can be constant or linear over the cross-section of the beam.

Specification in the excel

Column header	Data type	Example / enum definition	Required	Description
Name	String	LT1	yes	Human readable unique name of the load
Variation	Enum	Constant Linear	yes	Specifies how the temperature varies. Constant: The load is defined by means of a single value TempT. The value specifies the change in temperature of the 2D member (straight ΔT). Temperature change is constant along the cross-section. Linear: The load is defined by means of a set of two values TempT and TempB. The individual values specify the temperature change at individual surfaces - top and bottom of the 2D member.
TempT [°C]	Double	18	yes	Specifies the first size of the load in Celsius/Fahrenheit. For constant: Temperature change on the center plane For linear: Temperature change of the top surface (LCS direction +z) of 2D member
TempB [°C]	Double	18	yes, if Variation = Linear	Specifies the second size of the load in Celsius/Fahrenheit. For linear: Temperature change of the bottom surface (LCS direction -z) of 2D member
2D Member	String	S15	yes	The name of the StructuralSurfaceMember or StructuralSurfaceActionDistributionwhich is the surface load related to.
2D Member Region	String	R1	yes, if on region	The name of the StructuralSurfaceMemberRegion to which is the surface action related if it is available on 2D member.
Load case	String	LC1	yes	The name of the load case to which the load belongs
Parent ID	String	67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320	no	Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. Parent ID will ensure that curved edge is imported as straight parts to nonsupporting application, and back to original supporting application as curved geometry. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions.
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation
