HeatSourceAssignment Properties

(To be removed) Heat source assignments

HeatSourceAssignment will be removed. Use the CellLoad and FaceLoad properties of femodel instead. (since R2023a) For more information on updating your code, see Version History.

A HeatSourceAssignment object contains a description of the heat sources for a thermal model. A ThermalModel container has a vector of HeatSourceAssignment objects in its HeatSources.HeatSourceAssignments property.

Create heat source assignments for your thermal model using the internalHeatSource function.
