Psi-value 1 Construction

 

Summary

A Psi-value with 1 component is defined using the Psi-Value tool 1 Construction by applying 2 mouse clicks. The two points define the surface line, through which the effective heat flow should be calculated counterclockwise. The points are captured if the snap functions  are active (Grid , Guidelines and Objects , cf. menu Arrange).

You can adjust the properties of the Psi-value calculation in the Properties flyout.
