Solid Reference Temperature

Solid Reference Temperature = CONSTANT <float> [T]

Description / Usage

This card is used to specify the model for the solid reference temperature used in the thermal expansion of solid materials. Definitions of the input parameters are as follows:

CONSTANT	Name of the model for the reference temperature.
<float>	A floating point number that is the value of the solid reference temperature, \(T_{ref}\) .

Examples

The following is a sample card:

Solid Reference Temperature = CONSTANT 90.0

Technical Discussion

See the Solid Thermal Expansion card for a discussion of the use of this property in the linear thermoelasticity of solids.
