Analysis Types: Thermal Analysis
This is the primary state variable in most thermal simulations. It is analogous to displacement in a structural optimization
This response is useful when trying to control the temperature only in a small region of the design area.
Nodes for this design response should be chosen carefully as the optimizer may create mechanisms or disconnected structures
if the chosen region is too small.
For temperature, the following table shows the allowed combinations between
strategy and the items OBJ_FUNC
and CONSTRAINT
with C for controller-based optimization and S for sensitivity-based optimization.

Remarks
- Only nodes of the node group (
ND_GROUP
) will be applied in the calculation
of the temperature.
Definition
The design response (DRESP
) for TEMPERATURE is defined like:
DRESP
ID_NAME = DRESP_TEMPERATURE
DEF_TYPE = SYSTEM
TYPE = TEMPERATURE
ND_GROUP = node_group
