It may be helpful to consider setting a fixed temperature as setting a temperature constraint
To set a fixed temperature on a vertex,
1. Click FEA and then, in the Thermal LBC group, click Fixed Temp. The Temp Bnd Cond dialog box opens.
2. Click Vertex in Fixed Temperature. The Fixed Temperature dialog box opens.
3. If necessary, give the study a name.
When no name has been earlier provided, you can click Study and enter a new one in the highlighted box.
4. Click Name. Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis suggests a name for the current constraint in the Name box. You can accept the proposed name or type a new one in the highlighted box.
5. Click Ref Vertex and specify the vertex on your design model where you want to apply the temperature constraint.
6. Enter a value in the Value box.
7. Click Next to remain in the dialog box and define additional constraints or click to apply the constraint.
To set a fixed temperature on an edge,
1. Click FEA and then, in the Thermal LBC group, click Fixed Temp. The Temp Bnd Cond dialog box opens.
2. Click Edge in Fixed Temperature. The Fixed Temperature dialog box opens.
3. If necessary, give the study a name.
When no name has been earlier provided, you can click Study and enter a new one in the highlighted box.
4. Click Name. Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis suggests a name for the current constraint in the Name box. You can accept the proposed name or type a new one in the highlighted field.
5. Click Ref Edge and specify the edge on your design model where you want to apply the temperature constraint.
6. Enter a value in the Value box.
7. Click Next to remain in the dialog box and define additional constraints or click to apply the constraint.
To set a fixed temperature on a face,
1. Click FEA and then, in the Thermal LBC group, click Fixed Temp. The Temp Bnd Cond dialog box opens.
2. Click Face in Fixed Temperature. The Fixed Temperature dialog box opens.
3. If necessary, give the study a name.
When no name has been earlier provided, you can click Study and enter a new one in the highlighted box.
4. Click Name. Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis suggests a name for the current constraint in the Name box. You can accept the proposed name or type a new one in the highlighted field.
5. Click Ref Face and specify the face on your design model where you want to apply the temperature constraint.
6. Enter a value in the Value data entry field.
7. Click Next to remain in the dialog box and define additional constraints or click to apply the constraint.
