Define Advanced Parameters

This example shows how to modify the temperature averaging algorithm for a solution using advanced parameters.

  1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Advanced Controls .

  2. In the Advanced Controls dialog box, select the Advanced Parameter from the Type list.

  3. In the Parameter Definition group, click Catalog .

  4. In the Catalog dialog box, in the Item list, click ThermalThermal OutputTEMPERATURE AVERAGING ALGORITHM and then click OK.

  5. In the Advanced Controls dialog box, enter 2 in the Value box and click OK.The value, 2, specifies that the software must perform a weighted temperature averaging algorithm with respect to the element mass. For more information, see Thermal Solver TMG Reference Manual .

  6. Click OK.
