The Thermal Effects tab allows to activate considering dependence of material properties from the temperature.
When the mode is active material properties will be read from the graphs of temperature dependences that are set in the properties of study materials.
You can specify way of thermal load assigning for physical properties of materials in the Temperature Fields section. The loads are used for calculation of materials physical parameters using graphs of temperature dependences, specified in their parameters. The control elements on the tab are similar to the similar parameters of static analysis.
