Description

This command prescribes a temperature history on the selected geometry, part or part set. It is used when the thermal state in a region should follow a predefined value.

The prescribed temperature is taken from the referenced CURVE or FUNCTION, scaled by $sf$, and is active between $t_{beg}$ and $t_{end}$.

Note that temperature is computed and stored directly at the integration points.
