Doubt with SPC in heat transfer (Steady State)
Altair EmployeeHello again,
I'm doing a tutorial, OS1080, and i didn't understand why is used SPC, with all the boxes of degrees of freedom uncheked. What the SPC is used for? The subcase is (Heat Thansfer (Steady State).
I found something about SPC on Reference Guide. The first figure bellow.The Step 4, from tutorial, tell me to make this SPC.
Thanks!

Hi,
A structural constraint spc_struct is applied on the RBE2 element to fix the pipe on the ground. Two empty load collectors, spc_heat and heat_flux have been pre-created. In this section, the thermal boundary conditions and heat flux are applied on the model and saved in spc_heat and heat_flux, respectively.
Hope this helps

1. What do you mean by thermal Boundary condition in above post, is it temperature ?
2. Why SPC with all the boxes of degrees of freedom unchecked ? does it mean Zero temperature ?
Thank you in Advance
Altair Employee Thank you Prakash /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
Altair EmployeeHi Prakash,
Can i set just INITIAL TEMPERATURE in a Steady State analysis?
Thanks in advance
You can use TEMPD in Linear static case.
