Thermal mean constraint (Simcenter Samcef Thermal)

In Simcenter Samcef thermal analyses, you can use the Mean Constraint simulation object to link the temperature of a slave node to the mean temperature of a group of nodes, a group of elements, a group of faces, or a group of edges.

You can set the Lagrange Option to the Augmented Lagrangian Method to ensure a coupling between all the element degrees of freedom in the stiffness matrix, or to the Classic Lagrangian Method to reduce the resolution time.
