`**volumetric_heat`#

Description#

This BC is used to impose a volumetric heat flux within a given element set. In 3D and SI units, it should be given in \(W.m^{-3}\).

This keyword replaces the now deprecated keyword **fluvol.

**volumetric_heat elset value table

elset: Character name for the element set (elset) within which the heat generation is applied.
value: Real base value for the heat flux. This value scales the current table value to obtain the heat flux magnitude.
table: Character name of a pre-defined loading table or list of tables (see the option ***table). The table value describes the magnitude of the flux in time.

This BC is used to impose a volumetric heat flux within a given element set. The time-space values are taken from a parameter field.

**volumetric_heat_from_parameter \(~\,~\,\) elset value parameter_name

elset: Character name for the element set (elset) within which the heat generation is applied.
value: Real base value for the heat flux. This value scales the given parameter field to obtain the heat flux magnitude.
parameter_name: Name of the parameter.
