Hello!
I am trying to calculate model, which irradiates heat, and can't find how to set Stefan-Boltzman boundary condition, e.g a*s*(T-Tamb)**4
Can anyone help me? Or nonlinear conditions can't be set in FreeCAD?

Re: Stefan-Boltzman boundary condition
It's not yet implemented in FreeCAD but CalculiX itself offers radiative heat flux boundary condition. The equation is q=ε*σ*(T^4-T_0^4) where ε is emissivity, σ is Stefan-Bolttzmann constant, T is body temperature and T_0 is environment temperature. It can be defined with *RADIATE keyword. But since it's not supported by FreeCAD FEM module, you would have to export the input file and add this keyword manually. Then run the analysis outside of FreeCAD and import the frd file for postprocessing in FreeCAD.
You can find the details in CalculiX documentation: http://www.dhondt.de/ccx_2.19.pdf
