Temperature at initial time=0 seconds (Simcenter Samcef)
With the Temperature at t = 0 constraint, you impose the temperature that will be applied on the model during the computation of the initial configuration of a nonlinear or thermal analysis.
Where do I find it?
To define an initial temperature at time=0 seconds, do one of the following:
In the Simulation Navigator, right-click Constraint Container→New Constraint→Temperature at t = 0.
In the Simulation Navigator under a solution, right-click Constraints→New Constraint→Temperature at t = 0.
Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Temperature at t = 0 .
Select geometry. Right-click and choose Create Constraint→Temperature at t = 0.
