Defines an internally generated body heat given in W/kg.

Either press the FEM_ConstraintBodyHeatSource or select the menu Model → Thermal Constraints → Constraint body heat source.
Set the value:
- version 1.0 and above: For a 3D analysis, select a 'solid' (body) from your model, for a 2D analysis select a face.
- version 0.20 and below Since the constraint has no task dialog, use the property editor and set the property DataHeat Source.

This constraint works only with the Elmer solver, it has no effect when CalculiX is used as a solver.
Body heat source is applied to the whole model, it's not possible to select individual regions.

For more information see this forum thread and following posts. This thread may also be useful.
Elmer examples can also be found in Elmer GUI Tutorials.
