SWITCH TO MANUAL

Class in Zendir.Universe | Inherits from UniverseModel

Declaration

class ThermalModel;

---

Description

A thermal model can be added to any universe object which is able to manage the thermal data of a particular object. This will enable thermal CSV lookups or standard Thermal models.

Properties

Declared	Description
Conductivity	Conductivity of the Component
Density	Density of the component.
FilePath	Filename for the lookup table
GeneratedHeat	Heat Generated due to self functionality
IsOperational	A flag whether the current model is operational
LookupTemperature	The temperature obtained from the lookup table.
MaxTemperature	Maximum Operational Temperature
MinTemperature	Minimum Operational Temperature
Out_ThermalNodeMsg	A output message for the thermal information on this object.This will store the temperature and the heat generated.
SpecificHeat	Specific Heat of the Component
Temperature	Current Temperature of the component
ThermalAnalysis	Controls the thermal analysis type.
ThermalNodeColumn	The reference column index for the thermal database

Inherited	Description
IsEnabled	Is true if the object is currently enabled.
Name	The display name or tag of this object.
Parent	The currently attached parent object.

Methods

Declared	Description
Initialise	Loads the thermal model from a CSV file and stores the datain the model. This will be able to use a lookup based on someparameter that is configured.
Lookup	Looks up some independent variable in the lookup table based on thethermal node reference column. This will also perform a LERP on thevalue based on the closest two values.

Inherited	Description
Destroy	Removes the current object from the simulation.
FindParentWithID	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified ID.
FindParentWithType	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified type.
FindRootWithID	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified ID.
FindRootWithType	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified type.
