Guidelines for MEC/T History Temperature Loads
Guidelines for defining MEC/T history temperature loads follow:
Define at least one transient thermal analysis for a MEC/T history temperature load.
When you define the transient thermal analysis for the MEC/T history load, you must specify user-defined output steps and no auto steps in the Transient Thermal Analysis Definition dialog box. You must also select the Temp load check boxes for at least two output steps.
Supply a reference temperature for the MEC/T history temperature loads. The temperature change is then calculated at a given model location. It is the difference between the temperature at that location as determined in the thermal analysis and the reference temperature.
MEC/T History load must be the only load in its load set.
