{0,...} Point {2,...} Line {2,...} ThermalFlowBC
Creates one or more lines by either giving absolute coordinates or relative coordinates, by giving the angles with respect to the xy-plane and a length or a vector describing the direction and a length and add thermal flow boundary condition features to them.
tfbc 1 2 "relative" 3 4 Creates a line from a new point with coordinates (1, 2) to another new point which is 3 in the x- and 4 in the y-direction from the first point at (4, 6) and adds a thermal flow boundary condition feature to it.
tfbc Point_1 "relative" 3 4 -5 -9 "angles" 30 16 Creates a line from Point_1 (1, 2) to a new point which is 3 in the x- and 4 in the y-direction from the first point at (4, 6). From that new point a line is created to another new point which is -5 in the x- and -9 in the y-direction from the previous point at (-1, -3). From that point a new line is created which has an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the xy-plane and a length of 16, this line ends at coordinates (12.86, 5). Adds thermal flow boundary condition features to all lines.
tfbc (1 2) "angles" 45 10 "absolute" (4 5) Creates a line from a new point with coordinates (1, 2) which has an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the xy-plane and a length of 10. Then creates a line from the end point of the first line to a new point with coordinates (4, 5) and adds thermal flow boundary condition features to all lines.
