Source

Source allows to add one of more radiative heat sources as: Parallel Source, Point Source and Small Element Source.

The Source for the Radiation module can be specified as follows:

Parallel Source

This is used to specify a uniform planar radiative heat flux. The flux Direction vector and Power density are specified under Parallel Source.

Point Source

This is used to specify an isotropic radiative heat flux emitted from a point. The Position vector of the source and the total Power are specified under Point Source.
