Description
Creates a FEM constraint for a temperature boundary condition.
Use
- Click on
or choose Model → Thermal Constraints → Constraint temperature from the top menu. - Select in the 3D-view the object(s) the constraint should be applied to, which can be:
- vertices (corners)
- edges
- faces
- Enter a temperature to apply to the object.
Limitations
Notes
- The temperature constraint uses the *BOUNDARY card in CalculiX. the temperature constraint is explained at http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node163.html
