Temperature Set

Use a Temperature Set to specify the temperatures for use in a Simcenter Nastran, MSC Nastran, or Simcenter 3D Multiphysics analysis.

Temperature sets have 3 types:

• Initial/Stress Free Temperature defines the initial temperature distribution.This type corresponds to the TEMPERATURE(INITIAL) case control command.

• Material Temperature is used to determine temperature-dependent material properties.This type corresponds to the TEMPERATURE(MATERIAL) case control command.

• Temperature Load updates the temperature-dependent material properties, and defines the temperatures used for thermal loading.This type corresponds to the TEMPERATURE(LOAD) case control command.For Multiphysics, this type will correspond to the DTEMP case control command if time assigned temperatures are added to the temperature set.

The only type of load that you can add to a temperature set is a temperature. You cannot add a temperature directly to the load container of a Simcenter Nastran, MSC Nastran, or Multiphysics solution or subcase; instead, you must use a temperature set.

Note:

You cannot add multiple temperature sets of the same type to a solution. For Nastran, you cannot include both an Initial Temperature type temperature set and a Material Temperature type temperature set in the same solution. For Multiphysics, the Material Temperature type temperature set is not available.

For more information on creating temperatures in a Nastran environment see Defining temperatures in a Nastran analysis.
