Initial Values

This node adds an initial value for the temperature that can serve as an initial condition for a transient simulation or as an initial guess for a nonlinear solver. In addition to the default Initial Values node always present in the interface, you can add more Initial Values nodes if needed.

Initial Values

Enter a value or expression for the initial value of the Temperature T (SI unit: K). The default value is approximately room temperature, 293.15 K (20 ºC).
