Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Model | FE Model | The finite element model. |
| Load case | Boundary Condition List | The restraints and applied thermal loads. |
| Initial temperature | Temperature Field | The initial temperature of the domains in the FE Model. |
| Duration | Scalar | Duration of the simulation |
| Initial time step | Scalar | Initial time step for the transient analysis. The program will control the step size for subsequent steps. |
| Save increment | Integer | Controls the amount of data that is stored and accessible after the simulation completes. The default value of 1 will save results for all increments, whereas a value of 0 will save only the first and last increment. For any value, N > 1, the block will save results for every N increments. |
| Fixed time step | Bool | Option to fix the initial time step for the entire analysis. If this option is unchecked, the solver uses an automatic time-stepping scheme that varies the initial time step based on the stability of the analysis. |
