Apply Temperature

Limit temperature on the selected faces, edges, vertices, or spots to a prescribed value throughout the analysis.

Once you have applied temperature, the application then determines the temperature at every location of your model for which you have not prescribed it.

  2. On the Analysis Workbench toolbar, select (Temperature).
  3. In the dialog, use the radio buttons to select to what entity the spot will be applied.
  4. In the modeling window, click to select specific parts on the model.
  5. Optional: If applying to Spots, you can create new spots by clicking Create new spot.
  6. Optional: You can activate the Add tangent faces checkbox.
  7. Specify Temperature Units and value.
  8. Click OK.
    The load will appear in the Thermal branch under Thermal conditions.
