Energy Conduction Vectors#

Energy Conduction Vectors = {yes | no}

Description / Usage#

Activation of this option can be used to visualize the energy conduction paths in a solution. The resulting nodal variables are called TCOND0 (conduction in x direction), TCOND1 (conduction in y direction), and TCOND2 (conduction in z direction) in the output EXODUS II file.

The permissible values for this postprocessing option are:

yes

Calculate the energy conduction vectors and store in the output EXODUS II file.

no

Do not calculate the energy conduction vectors.

Examples#

This example card requests that energy conduction vectors be written to the EXODUS II file:

Energy Conduction Vectors = yes

Technical Discussion#

These quantities can be employed in a hedge-hog or vector plot to visualize the energy conduction pathways across a domain (cf. the vector option in BLOT, or the hedge-hog option in Mustafa, for example).
