Define a spatial temperature load

The spatial type of temperature load lets you map the field directly to a global or Cartesian coordinate system.

1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Temperature Load .

2. In the Temperature Load dialog box, select Temperature – spatial from the Type list.

3. In the Model Objects group, click Select Object and select the geometry or FE entity to which the temperature will be applied.

4. In the Magnitude group, choose a method from the Specify Field list to apply a temperature that varies spatially. You can use an existing field or create a new field. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

5. (Optional) Enter a Scale Factor for the field.

6. Click OK.The load is applied to the model.
