About this Block

What it does: Assigns the Thermal Conductivity and Specific Heat to an Isotropic Material. Common uses:
  • An input in defining an Isotropic Material.
  • For conducting a Thermal Analysis.
Tips:
  • Create spatially varying properties by using Scalar Fields as inputs.
  • This block has an overload, to allow you to define an Isotropic Nonlinear Thermal Property. This overload is in Beta.
