The element has eight nodes with a single degree of freedom, temperature, at each node. The element is applicable to a three-dimensional, steady-state or transient thermal analysis. The element also can compensate for mass transport heat flow from a constant velocity field. If the model containing the conducting solid element is also to be analyzed structurally, the element should be replaced by an equivalent structural element (such as SOLID45). A similar thermal element, with mid-edge node capability, is described in Section 4.90 (SOLID90). An option exists that allows the element to model nonlinear steady-state fluid flow through a porous medium, With this option, the thermal parameters are interpreted as analogous fluid flow parameters. For example, the temperature degree of freedom becomes equivalent to a pressure degree of freedom. See Section 14,70 of the ANSYS Theory Reference for more details about this element.

If KEYOPT(7)=I, the standard thermal output should be interpreted as the analogous fluid flow output. The element output directions are parallel to the element coordinate system. A general description of solution output is given in Section 2.2. See the ANSYS Basic Analvsis Procedures Guide for ways to view results.

This occurs most frequently when the element is not numbered properly. Elements may be numbered either as shown in Figure 4.70-1 or may have the planes UKL and MNOP interchanged. A prism or tetrahedron shaped element may be formed by defining duplicate node numbers as described in Section 2.8, nd enthalpy are evaluated at each integration point to allow for abrupt changes (such as for melting) within a coarse grid, If the thermal element is to be replaced by a SOLID45 structural clement with surface stresses requested, the thermal element should be oriented such that face LINM and/or face KLPO is a free surface The specific he: A free surface of the element (i., not adjacent to another element and not subjected to a boundary constraint) is assumed to be adiabatic. Thermal transients having a fine integration time step and a severe thermal gradient at the surface will also require a fine mesh at the surface.
