# 7.6.18.11.6. Mesh_Input

Syntax

  Tensor Thermal Conductivity [{of} SpeciesName] = Mesh_Input ([Multiplier = multiplier] | [Name = name] | [Type = type] | [Axis1 = axis1] | [Axis2 = axis2] | [Tolerance = tolerance])

Scope

  Aria Material

Summary

  Tensor thermal conductivity from the input mesh database.

Description

  The “Name” parameter specifies the name of the field on the input mesh to read from. The “Type” parameter must be one of “PRINCIPAL”, “SYMMETRIC”, or “FULL” depending on the form of the input element field. The “Axis1” and “Axis2” parameters (“Axis1” only for 2D) provide names of vector element fields on the input mesh that define local alignment of principal coordinate system axes for the tensor, they will be used to appropriately rotate the tensor into the XYZ computational frame. The “Multiplier” parameter may be used to uniformly scale all tensor components by a constant factor.

  The “Tolerance” parameter is unused, but preserved for backwards compatibility.
