The component represents an ideal flow source which supplies the defined flow rate for an
arbitrary pressure differential. Within the dialog you can choose a constant or the time-controlled
type.
Dialog Settings
� «Heat Flow [J/s]»
The linear heat flow source is selected. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical value, a
variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
� � «Use pin»
If the box is checked, the value is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise the
value in the text box is used.
� «Time Controlled»
The time-controlled heat flow source is selected. In the list, select a time function and define
the corresponding parameters. See also “Using Time Functions” on page 275.
� In the list, select the sine, pulse, triangular, trapezoidal, saw-tooth rising, or saw-tooth falling
time function.
Linear Heat Flow Source
Ht () =
VALUE
The flow rate is equivalent to the present value of the quantity specified in the input field.
Usually a constant value, a time function, or a variable are chosen, or the value is determined
in a state graph. All system quantities and variables can be combined with mathematical and
logical operators and constants.
The pressure of an ideal flow source can be arbitrary. Real flow sources have always an internal
resistance. If the internal resistance is essential for the simulation target, a corresponding
resistance must be connected in parallel.
