Temperature loading, non-lin. (TNLIN)

Input of non-linear temperature loading for a series of elements. Based on a temperature field over the cross section, the load will be applied.

Note: For getting similar results in NLTemp using TNLIN load type, more discretization (mesh refinement) of cross-section elements need to be done.

The module TEMPVAR is not needed if this load type is taken.

SettingDescription
From, To, Step Element series to be loaded
Assembly Alternative to load assignment via element series: Name of the assembly to be loaded. The specified load is applied to every element of the specified assembly.
Attribute Set Temperature distribution is defined as attribute set of type temperature. All cross section reference sets that refer to it define a temperature field.
Note: The reference sets have to be defined at the single units in the case of composite.
