Option Description
Name Defines the name of the physical property table.
Label Defines the unique numeric identifier for the physical property table.
Properties
Non-Structural Mass Specifies the mass of the associated 0D element. The solver uses this mass to calculate the thermal capacitance for transient analysis.
Diameter Specifies the diameter of the associated 0D element. The solver uses this value to calculate each element's surface area for radiation and convection.
