DEFINITION
VFACTR determines whether inter-object heat transfer by radiation is computed in the simulation. It also specifies the list of objects for view factor calculation in 3D when the object is listed.
REMARKS
Only when NumObject > 0, the object list can be provided. This keyword was available only in 2D v10.2 release. It becomes available for 3D as well in v11 release.
