The Initial Values node adds initial values for the displacement field, structural velocity field, and the temperature variation that can serve as an initial condition for a transient simulation or as an initial guess for a nonlinear analysis. Add more Initial Values nodes from the Physics toolbar.

Enter values or expressions for the initial values of the Displacement field u (SI unit: m) (the displacement components u, v, and w in 3D) and Structural velocity field ∂u/∂t (SI unit: m/s), and the Temperature variation T (SI unit: K). The defaults are 0.
