Select region → Value: e.g., 20°C. Step 5: Apply Thermal Loads & Boundary Conditions Common thermal BCs:

mechanical elements (C3D8, CPS4) – they lack thermal DOF.

| | Element family | Example | |---------------|--------------------|------------------------| | 2D | Heat transfer | DC2D4 (4-node quad) | | 3D | Heat transfer | DC3D8 (8-node brick) | | Axisymmetric | Heat transfer | DCAX4 (4-node axisym) |

→ Family: Heat Transfer → choose linear or quadratic.
