Damage temperature Td, h to define the (high) temperature that the tissue needs to reach to start getting damaged. The default is 323.15 K.
|
•
|
Damage time td, h to define the time needed for the necrosis to happen while the temperature is above Td, h. The default is 50 s.
|
•
|
Necrosis temperature Tn, h to define the (high) temperature to be reached for the necrosis to happen instantly. The default is 373.15 K.
