Define Temperature on: Nodes or Geometry

Use the Define Temperature on: Nodes or geometry option to define temperature on individual nodes or geometry. Temperatures created on nodes have special graphical display in HyperMesh. Loads created on geometric entities like surfaces, lines or points are automatically mapped to FEA mesh on export. You can also map them using the Map Loads on Geometry button.

The Define tab for Define Temperature on: Nodes or geometry contains the following buttons:

Button

Action

Define from 'temperatures' panel

Opens the Temperature panel to create/update temperature.

To create a temperature on nodes, go to the create subpanel, select nodes using the switch, input a value, and click create.

To create a temperature on geometry, go to the create subpanel, select surfs, points, or lines using the switch, input a value, and click create.

Notes:

•	Loads created on geometric entities are automatically mapped to FEA mesh on export. You can also map them using the Map Loads on Geometry button.

•	You can also update an existing temperature from the update subpanel.

•	While you are in the temperature panel, press the h key to view panel-specific help.

•	When you are finished creating or updating temperature, click return and the Step Manager will be updated with the new loads.

Map Loads on geometry

Opens the Loads on Geom panel to map loads on geometry to FEA mesh entities.

Click the Map loads button to map all geometric loads in the current load collector to FEA entities.

Notes:

•	You can also pick other load collectors by clicking on the loadcols button and map loads in all of them together.

•	While you are in the Loads on Geom panel, press the h key to view panel-specific help.

•	When you are finished, click return and the Step Manager will be updated with the new loads.
