TemperatureMonitor

Temperature monitor.

Name

name: Unique name for the temperature monitor.

• Required field

Size and Position

Specification of the temperature monitor size and position.

Center + size

Object definition through a center position and size.

center: Center of the object in x, y, and z-directions.

Type: floating-point number

• Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
• Default: (0, 0, 0)

size: Size of the object in x, y, and z-directions.

Use Infinity to define a geometry extending to infinity in both directions along an axis.

Type: floating-point number

• Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
• Constraint: greater than or equal to 0
• Required field

Bounds

Object definition through minimum and maximum coordinate bounds.

min: Values of the x, y, and z coordinates defining the object's lower corner.

Type: floating-point number

• Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
• Required field

max: Values of the x, y, and z coordinates defining the object's upper corner.

Type: floating-point number

• Unit: m, μm (default), or nm
• Required field

Unstructured Mesh

Type: boolean

unstructured: Return data on the original unstructured grid.

• Default: False

Set it to True to visualize the unstructured mesh in the Post-Run Result.

Conformal Mesh

conformal: If True the heat simulation mesh will conform to the monitor's geometry. While this can be set for both Cartesian and unstructured monitors, it bears higher significance for the latter ones. Effectively, setting conformal = True for unstructured monitors (unstructured = True) ensures that returned temperature values will not be obtained by interpolation during postprocessing but rather directly transferred from the computational grid.

• Default: False
