Thermal Load

Is there any information that I can use on how to give thermal load?
I am planning to do a simple SOL 101 analysis of a cantilever beam. I want to give a temp gradient of approx. 100 and review the stress and strain .

    Quick question, ​
    suppose we have 5 nodes (Grid Points), when we apply nodal force (load) as 10, the total load will be 50 (10 * 5)
    while the same is not true for temp, if I apply nodal temp of 100,each node will have a temp of 100 but it will be more like a uniform temperature distribution of 100. (I do not have any initial temp defined, this 100 is serving as a temperature gradient)
     
    Correct?
