StructuralCurveActionThermal

Thermal load on the beam

The thermal load on the line elements (StructuralCurveMember, StructuralCurveMemberRib). The variation of the thermal load can be constant or linear over the cross-section of the beam.

Specification in the excel

Name of the column header	Type of data	Value example or enum definition	Required value	Description
Name	String	LT1	yes	Human readable unique name of the load
Force action	Enum	On beam On rib	yes	Specifies on which type of object the load acts.
Variation	Enum	Constant Linear	yes	Specifies how the temperature varies Constant: The load is defined by means of a single value deltaT. The value specifies the warming to which the 1D member is subject to. Linear: The load is defined by means of a set of four values. The individual values specify the temperature at individual sides (left, right, top, bottom) of the 1D member.
deltaT [°C]	Double	5	yes; if Variation = Constant	Temperature delta in Celsius/Fahrenheit on the centre line of the member. *See note to clarify the position.
TempL [°C]	Double	5	yes, if Variation = Linear	The temperature on the left side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position.
TempR [°C]	Double	18	yes, if Variation = Linear	Temperature on right side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position.
TempT [°C]	Double	5	yes, if Variation = Linear	Temperature on top side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position.
TempB [°C]	Double	5	yes, if Variation = Linear	Temperature on bottom side of the beam surface in Celsius/Fahrenheit. Refers to LCS of 1D member. *See note to clarify the position.
Member	String	B11	yes, if Force action = On beam	The name of the StructuralCurveMember on which the load is applied
Member Rib	String	B10	yes, if Force action = On rib	The name of the StructuralCurveMemberRib on which the load is applied
Load case	String	LC1	yes	The name of the load case to which the load belongs
Coordinate definition	Enum	Absolute Relative	yes	Selects the coordinate system that is used to define the length of the line load. Relative means without units. To define length of the load in meters input absolute
Origin	Enum	From start From end	yes	Specifies the origin of the coordinate system used for the definition of the length of the load
Start point [m]	Double	value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 0,0 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 0,0	yes	Defines the position of the start point of the load in relative or absolute coordinates
End point [m]	Double	value in meters for Coordinate definition = Absolute 5,25 value in percentage for Coordinate definition = Relative 1,0	yes	Defines the position of the end point of the load in relative or absolute coordinates
Parent ID	String	67b35d84-3d04-47aa-aa4a-dc1263982320	no	Is filled for objects created be dividing curved geometry to series of straight line objects. Parent ID will ensure that curved edge is imported as straight parts to nonsupporting application, and back to original supporting application as curved geometry. To ensure successful round trip of segmented objects and their related objects, Parent ID needs to be present in both directions.
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation
