Description: Defines transient and steady state temperature boundary conditions for heat transfer analysis.

Alternate Format and Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Temperature set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| TYPE | Type of temperature boundary, one of the following character variables: STAT for a constant temperature boundary condition or TRAN for a time-varying temperature boundary condition. | Character | Required |
| TEMPi | Temperature value. | Real | Required |
| Gi | Grid point identification number(s). | Integer > 0; G2 > G1 | Required |
| INC | Grid point number increment. | Integer or blank | 1 |
Remarks:
- For a constant boundary condition (TYPE = STAT), the temperature boundary load set, (SID), is selected in the Case Control Section (SPC = SID). TYPE = STAT may be used in both steady state and transient analysis.
- For a time-varying boundary condition (TYPE = TRAN), SID is referenced by a
TLOADi Bulk Data entry through the DAREA specification. TYPE = TRAN is permitted only in transient analysis. A function of time
defined on the TLOADi entry multiplies the general load where
provides any required time delay. The load set identifier on the TLOADi entry must be selected in the Case Control (DLOAD = SID) for use in transient analysis.
