ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.emis#

Mapdl.emis(mat='', evalu='', **kwargs)#

Specifies emissivity as a material property for the Radiation Matrix method.

Mechanical APDL Command: EMIS

Command default:

Since there is no command default value for emissivity, you must issue emis to specify it. Otherwise, an error message appears. If you issue emis without defining a numerical value, emissivity defaults to 0.

Parameters:

matstr: Material number associated with this emissivity (500 maximum). Defaults to 1.
evalustr: Emissivity for this material (0.0 < EVALU $e q u a t i o n n o t a v a i l a b l e$ 1.0). Enter a very small number for zero.

Notes

Specifies emissivity as a material property for the Radiation Matrix method. This material property can then be associated with each element.
