Creating a temperature source load

Use the Temperature Source command to apply either a constant temperature source load to the entire model, or different constant temperature loads to different element or node groups. This feature enables you to define temperature source loads, which are constant over time, while varying over the structure.

The material data corresponding to the specified temperature load is applied to the model and the stresses are computed to evaluate the fatigue life of the components. Temperature source load is a part of the durability load events definition. You can create a temperature source load either before or at the time you define a durability load event. The solver computes each stress value from the load event at a specific temperature.

Where do I find it?

Application	Pre/Post
Prerequisite	A Simulation file as the work part and displayed part
Command Finder	Temperature Source
Simulation Navigator	Right-click Durability Temperature Sources→New Temperature Source
Location in dialog box	(Superposition Event and Transient Event dialog boxes) Temperature Source tab→Temperature Source group→Create Temperature Source (Block Load Event, Flexible Body Event, Random Event, Harmonic Event dialog boxes) Temperature Source group→Create Temperature Source
