Temperature

To specify the load Temperature, use one of the following methods:

Temperature characterizes a thermal state of a body and determines how warm it is.

The load Temperature is used for defining invariant in time constant temperature of elements of the model in steady state and transient thermal analysis, and also for defining temperature difference in the static analysis of structure’s strength when solving the thermo-elastic problems.

Temperature can be applied to a model body, a face, edge or vertex.

For selecting elements of the model, use the automenu option:

Selected elements are added to the list.

In the properties window of the load Temperature, it is required to specify the following parameters:

•the magnitude of the load;

•units: K, C, F.

In the 3D- scene the Temperature is shown in the following way:

A typical sequence of steps for specifying the thermal load is:

1.Initialize the command "Temperature" .

2.Select body, face, edge, vertex or a set of elements.

3.Specify the value of temperature and units.

4.Complete the command.
