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 .

  • Hello
    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.​
