Non-Geometric Element dialog box (Thermal/SST/ESC/Multiphysics)

Option Description
Name Sets the name for the modeling object. Enter a meaningful name. This name appears on the Non-Geometric Element list in all related dialog boxes with a Non-Geometric Element modeling object option.Example: If you create a non-geometric element modeling object with its temperature fixed at 75 C, you can name the modeling object NGE Temp 75 C. When you see this name in a Non-Geometric Element modeling object list, you can easily identify the modeling object.
Label Sets a unique numeric identifier for the modeling object.
Description Lets you enter a description for the modeling object.
Magnitude
Type Controls whether the temperature or the capacitance of the non-geometric element is fixed.TemperatureSpecifies the temperature of the non-geometric element to the value that you enter in the Temperature box.CapacitanceSpecifies the capacitance of the non-geometric element to the value that you enter in the Capacitance box.
Thermal Phase Change
Appears when Type is set to Capacitance.
Activate Phase Change Activates phase change within the non-geometric element.Latent HeatSets the latent heat.Phase Change TemperatureSets the temperature at which phase change occurs.Capacitance Above Phase ChangeSets the capacitance of the non-geometric element after phase change.
