Radiation only to a certain surface

Toon

Hi,

 

I am performing research for a thermal radiation CFD simulation. The simulation is the following: A plate is locally heated by a laserbeam.

So my question is: would it be possible to only apply radiation on this single spot? How would I do this in AcuConsole?

I have done a greenhouse simulation already with radiation heat but than the radiation hit the complete model. So is it possible to only locally apply radiation in a model?

 

Thank you in advance

You'll probably need to cut out the portion of the surface, so it's a separate surface.  It will have some non-zero area, so not really a point source.
