FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Using the Thermal Event tool, you
can setup a temperature or thermal loadcase to solve and understand Squeak and Rattle issues.
From Setup group, select Thermal
Event from selection list.
A guide bar opens.
Select node(s) where the load should be applied to in the graphics area.
Enter the temperature value.
Click .
This creates a Thermal event loadcase at the selected node
and all the relevant cards are created and listed in the model browser
automatically.A user message appears to ensure thermal property
definition in the model. Click OK to
continue.
