Specifying Thermal Quadratic Parameters
This dialog box lets you set parameters (coefficients) that determine the value of a material property’s thermal modifier used to make the property temperature-dependent. Two tabs provide for specifying both basic and advanced coefficients.
- Basic Coefficient Set – Set a reference temperature and unit of measure, and the values of the coefficients of the first- and second-order terms of the quadratic formula that controls the thermal modifier value.
- Advanced Coefficient Set – Set the upper and lower temperature limits within which the quadratic formula is valid. You can also manually override the automatic calculation of thermal modifier values to be used for temperatures outside of the upper and lower temperature limits.
