Add Thermal Preset¶

Introduction¶

Thermal Presets are used to initialize the temperature field within specified regions of a Thermal Field. These presets define the initial temperature condition prior to the start of the simulation and can be used to establish non-uniform initial temperature distributions throughout the model.

Access¶

A Thermal Preset can only be added to an existing Thermal Field. Select Add Thermal Preset on the context-specific toolbar, and a new Add Geometry window will launch, and after you select your specifications, the Thermal Preset property grid will appear.

Add Thermal Preset Toolbar¶

Context-Specific Toolbar Forms	Description
Add Geometry	The Add Geometry form adds child geometry by importing from external CAD files, extracting from external CAD assemblies, or defining internally using built-in parametric geometry.
Move	The Move form enables three-dimensional rigid body transform of object through free drag or point-to-point snapping.
Rotate	The Rotate form enables three-dimensional rotation of geometry.
Scale	The Scale form enables volumetric scaling of a geometry about a set anchor point.
Mate	The Mate form allows surface-to-surface mating and alignment.
Help	The Help command launches the M-Star reference documentation in your web browser.
