Input Temperature |
Considers the prescribed temperatures defined for the model. When using this option, make sure to specify temperatures on components or shells. Specifying temperatures on the boundary only may not be practical since a temperature of zero is assumed at all other locations. If you define temperature on boundary only, you may need to create and solve a thermal study first to compute temperatures at all nodes.

Temperatures from thermal study |
Reads the temperature values from a thermal study. Select a Thermal study. For a transient thermal study, select either a Time step number (to import a single temperature) or For each nonlinear time step, use temperature from corresponding time of transient thermal analysis. |
|
Temperatures from SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation |
Reads the temperature values from a file resulting from a completed SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation on the same configuration. Select the desired result file (*.fld) that has been generated by Flow Simulation. Model name, configuration name, and time step number associated with the specified file are displayed. This option is not available for 2D simplification studies. |

Reference temperature at zero strain |
Sets the temperature at which no strains exist in the model. |
