Temperature (Thin Rod)
Use this subnode to specify the temperature on a set of points that represent boundaries of a rod. Only points adjacent to the boundaries can be selected in the parent node.
Temperature
For User defined, enter a value or expression for the Temperature T0. Else, select an Ambient temperature defined in an Ambient Properties node under Definitions. The equation for this condition is T = T0 where T0 is the prescribed temperature on the points.

Thin Rod
You can specify a harmonic variation of the temperature value in a frequency domain analysis of perturbation type, by adding a Harmonic Perturbation subnode. See Theory for Harmonic Heat Transfer for more details.
