4.3.3. Mechanical, Thermal Loading, and External Data

Thermal loading through the Temperature field variable can be accomplish by:

Transient Thermal analysis
External Data analysis component in Workbench
Setting the environmental or part temperature directly in Mechanical

The resolution of the temperature field is per element node.
