Is it necessary to have temperature nodes defined on the entire model?
I have a model in which I had temperature load (nodal temperature) defined to all the solid elements, however, I have a beam element (1D bar2) for which I did not specify any load. I get an error while running this stating that all the elements do not have the thermal load defined.
In order for my solution to run I defined a nodal temperature of 0 degree gradient (no change in temperature) on that specific 1D element and my model runs.
