INUMB

Interface number for load transfer. The interface number corresponds to the interface number specified by the surface flag FSIN (SFxxcommands).

FNUMB1

Field number of sending field.

Label

Valid surface load labels:

Force label: FORC
Displacement label: DISP
Temperature label: TEMP
Heat flux label: HFLU
FNUMB2

Field number for receiving field.

Notes

This command is also valid in PREP7.

The ANSYS Multi-field solver solver does not allow you to switch the load transfer direction for the same load quantity across the same interfaces for a restart run. For example, if Field1 sends temperature to and receives heat flow from Field2 across Interface 1 in a previous solution, then you cannot make Field1 send heat flow to and receive temperatures from Field2 across the same interface in a restart run, even if you cleared the corresponding load transfer command.

See Multi-field Commands in the Coupled-Field Analysis Guide for a list of all ANSYS Multi-field solver commands and their availability for MFS and MFX analyses.

Distributed ANSYS Restriction This command is not supported in Distributed ANSYS.
