RADBC
Bulk Data Entry Defines the radiation boundary conditions and identifies CHBDYE entries for heat transfer analysis via radiation.

Definitions
| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
|---|---|---|
| NODAMB | Ambient point for
radiation exchange identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| FAMB | Radiation view factor
between the face and ambient point. No default (Real ≥ 0) |
|
| CNTRLND | Control point for
radiation boundary conditions.
Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0) |
|
| EIDi | CHBDYE element identification number(s).
Keywords THRU and BY are
available for alternate format listing in ascending order of
EIDi. No default (Integer > 0) |
Comments
- For a Heat Transfer Analysis via Radiation, PARAM,TABS can be used to define the absolute temperature scale, and PARAM,SIGMA is used to specify the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Additionally, a RADBC entry can be used to define radiation boundary conditions. Both RADM and RADBC entries are referenced on the CHBDYE Bulk Data Entry.
- NODAMB is treated as a black body with its own ambient temperature for radiation exchange between the surface element and space.
