The heat source (power source)
The "heat source" describes an spatial area of a component heated with
constant power. Distinctive heat sources are identified by their unique names (Power
Source Name, e.g. "heating stripe"). The
specification of the heating power of the source is
postponed until the evaluation of results is executed.
One heat source in the sense described here can be composed of several,
spatially not connected ranges; if all such ranges are assigned same name (heat
source name) than all theses areas are considered one source.
Different heat sources shall have common boundaries if required.
