Create a temperature source load for part of the model

You create a temperature source load to apply a specific temperature to a group of elements or nodes for durability analysis of your model.

1. Choose Specialist Durability tab→Load Events group→Temperature Source .

2. In the Name - Description group, in the name box, type a name for the temperature source load.

3. In the Temperature Distribution group, from the Distribution Method list, select Groups.

4. In the Temperature Loads group, click Add Temperature Loads .

5. In the List Groups group, double click the desired groups, or select them and click Add to List , to add them to the Selected Groups group.You can create a group using the New Group command.

6. In the Temperature Loads group, in the Temperature box, define the magnitude of the temperature load that you want to apply to the selected groups, by typing a constant value, or using an expression. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

7. Click OK.

8. (Optional) Select the Temperature for Remaining Structure check box, and in the Temperature box, type the magnitude of the constant temperature load that you want to apply to the remaining portion of the structure, which is not covered in the selected groups.Note: Any element or node with no defined temperature load is excluded from the durability analysis.

9. From the Overlap Resolution list, select the temperature load criteria, Maximum, Minimum, or Average, for the overlap area, which are the elements or nodes that are referenced in more than one group.

10. Click OK.
