entype, enid, fid, $T$

Parameter definition

Variable
Description
entype
Entity type
options: N, P, PS, ALL, SPH
enid
Entity identification number
fid
ID of a FUNCTION defining the temperature field (FE only)
$T$
Constant temperature value (only used if fid=0)
quantity: Temperature

Description

Defines initial temperature for the selected entities before the transient solution starts.

The target scope is controlled by entype/enid. For FE entities, fid can reference a FUNCTION to prescribe a spatial temperature field.

If fid=0, the constant value T is used. Multiple commands may be used to initialize different regions with different temperatures.
