Define thermo-optical properties
Choose Home tab→Properties group→Modeling Objects .
In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, from the Type list, select Thermo-Optical Properties or Thermo-Optical Properties - Advanced.
Click Create.Either the Thermo-Optical Properties or Thermo-Optical Properties Advanced dialog box opens.
Type a meaningful name in the Name box. This is especially important for all types of modeling objects since they are not associated with any geometry.
Depending upon the physical phenomena you want to model, specify the values for the necessary properties or accept the default values. For variable properties, create a table field of data pairs that define an independent and dependent variable.
Click OK.
In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, click Close.
