Hello I have another question. I want to apply a Heat Flux as boundary condition in a 1D-cartesian Problem. In the Users Guide I found that Natural and Load boundary conditions are synonymous. I found nothing about a boundary condition like "Point Natural" in 1D but if I apply these one there is no error message. The results are the same whether I use "Point Load" or "Point Natural", but not the results I expected. Is there any difference for which reason I should prefer the "Point Load" in 1D Problems, because these ones are used in the Users Guide examples, or can I express a heat flux with both of them ? Thank you for responses | ||

The words NATURAL and LOAD are treated as identical. Applying the "POINT" qualifier does not change this interpretation, so "POINT LOAD" and "POINT NATURAL" are identical as well. |
