MSC Sinda for Patran materials can be temperature or time dependent. The material parameter can be a constant, a temperature field or a time field. Currently, MSC Sinda for Patran materials only support tabular input fields. You can create the temperature or time dependent fields in Fields/Create/Material Property/ Tabular input.
Standard Materials (isotropic, orthotropic, Anistropic and phase change)
Can reference the following fields:
Conductivity: | F(time) or F(temperature) |
Specific Heat: | F(temperature) |
Density: | F(time) |
For standard materials, Specific Heat and Density cannot reference fields at the same time, since they are merged together later in the translator. We are going to release this limitation later.
Fluid Materials
Can reference the following fields:
Fluid Conductivity: | F(temperature) |
Specific Heat: | F(temperature) |
Fluid Density: | F(temperature) |
Dynamic Viscosity: | F(temperature) |
Expansion Coefficient: | F(temperature) |
Convection Coefficient: | F(time) or F(temperature) |
Mass Flow Rate: | F(time) |
Velocity: | F(time) |
Note: | For fluid material, Specific Heat and Density can reference fields at the same time. They use different method with the standard material. |
Coating Materials
Can reference the following fields:
IR Emissivity: | F(temperature) |
UV Emissivity: | F(temperature) |
MLI Materials
Can reference the following fields:
External IR Emissivity: | F(temperature) |
External UV Absorptivity: | F(temperature) |
All other material variables remain as constant data for now.
Convection loads can reference fluid materials too. In this case, the convection coefficient (h) inside the basic fluid material or the convection coefficient (h) calculated from the advanced fluid material will be considered as a load variable, mass flow rate will never be a load variable. The valid Mass flow rate value is from the fluid material referred by the 1D flow tube property.
