Target Temperature and Target Temperature Change

Use the Target Temperature modeling object or the Target Temperature Change modeling object to end a transient analysis based on a specified temperature or temperature change for selected thermal elements.

To perform a temperature stabilization analysis on a region, you can select one of the following options from the End list on the Transient Setup page in the Solution dialog box.

  • Based on Temperature ends the transient thermal analysis based on the temperature targets that you specify for one or more selection of elements. The first selection that reaches its target value ends the analysis. You select either a predefined group of the elements or the elements' associated geometry to select the elements, and set the target temperature in the Target Temperature modeling object.

  • Based on Temperature Change ends the transient thermal analysis based on the temperature variation targets that you specify for one or more selection of elements. The first selection that reaches its target value ends the analysis. You select either a predefined group of the elements or the elements' associated geometry to select the elements, and set the target temperature change in the Target Temperature Change modeling object.

You can define multiple modeling objects of the same type in your solution.
