- Backloads and Equivalent Sinks are methods for providing simplistic representations of complicated radiative interfaces for a subset of nodes/surfaces
- Backloads/EqSinks require (at a minimum) radiation couplings and temperature predictions from an integrated model
- Environmental heating rates may also be included in the calculations
- Calculate.
