Create temperature loads

Temperature loads are global rises in temperature that you can apply to individual elements or panels in the model. For more information on how to create temperature loads, see the following instructions.

Open an appropriate view and if necessary switch the view regime to Structural View.
In the Loading list, select an appropriate loadcase. (Typically this would by a loadcase for which the Type has been set as 'Temperature'.)
On the Load tab, click Temperature.

Note: If the Temperature load option is grayed out, check that you have selected a loadcase with an appropriate Type.
In the Properties window, adjust the load details according to your needs.
Click anywhere along the element to apply the load.
