Definition of the elements (3I5/6I5)
NINTENumber of integration points from 1 to 10
LMATEMaterial
INDICConnction type
= 0 → exchange between 2 faces belonging to the same structure (CONRA element)
= 1 → Radiation towards a fictive surface (leak flow or symmetry)
= 2 → Radiation between a face representing the symmetry and a face representing a leak flow
NODES(6) Definition of the nodes

Examples for INDIC

INDICExamplesFigure
0 Example 1: 4 8

Link between 2 faces of the structure
1 Example 2: 10 16 14 9 - Description of the leak flow towards the fictive face

Example 3: 10 15 1 14 - Description of the symmetry flow towards the fictive face
2 Example 4: 15 16 1 14 14 9 - Link between the leak flow and the symmetry flow

Results

  • Sigma(1): flow unaffected by the viewing factor
  • Sigma(2): flow affected by the viewing factor and the area of the element ($A_1 F_{12}=A_2 F_{21}$)

Remarks

  1. CONRA: Structure to the left in relation to the numbering direction
  2. RAYON: Face describing the symmetry and the leak flow to the right in relation to the numbering direction
