3. Operands and keywords

3.1. Operand TEMP_FIN

TEMP_CIBLE is a real giving the value of the temperature different from the rest temperature creating the thermal shock. Typically in the case where a pipe through which a fluid at non-ambient temperature passes periodically and rapidly is studied, TEMP_FIN corresponds to the difference between the temperature of the fluid and the reference temperature TEMP_INIT of the pipe.

3.2. Operand TEMP_INIT

This is the reference temperature of the solid under study. In the model of this macro-control, it is also the temperature of the system before the thermal shock.

3.3. Operand RESU_SUPL_THER

Operand to be entered in “OUI” when the user also wishes to produce the linear thermal calculation of the thermal shock studied. The concept is then produced to the right of the macro command in the keyword RESU_THER.

3.4. Operands RESU_MECA_UNIT and RESU_THER_UNIT

These are the concepts that are the result of mechanical and thermal unit calculations respectively.

RESU_THER_UNIT is only to be provided when the macro command is asked for a thermal result (i.e. RESU_SUPL_THER = “OUI”).

3.5. Keyword RESU_THER

Contains the concept result produced on the right by the macro command when requested.
