ABAQUS: How to calculate total Heat Loss over a face

[CADlalala]

Hi,

I am currently performing a thermal steady state analysis in a fin for heat dissipation. The model is basically a cylinder with a Body Heat Flux [W/m3] as a thermal load and a fin attached to the cylinder. The fin has convection applied as an interaction in all its faces. My aim is to calculate the Heat [W] dissipated by each of the faces of the fin.

I know that the HFL will give me [W/m2] which I could multiply by each element area of the face but I am not to sure how to do this (I guess I would need a script?).

Maybe there is another simpler/more direct way to calculate the total heat loss dissipated by each face?

Thanks

Output variable RFLE should do the job. The sum of these nodal values.

Group nodes on the desired faces in a node set and request output with TOTALS (=sum) into the .dat file:
*Node Print, nset=region_nodes, Totals=yes
RFLE
