In this dialog, the properties of a temperature source can be defined.

Name

Declare the name for the temperature source. Each source must have a unique name.

Temperature value

Specify  temperature of the source. This setting will only be active if the temperature source is of Fixed type

Type

The source may have two different types:

Fixed

The temperature of the associated solid will be kept equal to a specified temperature value.

Floating

The solid will have a constant temperature that will be calculated during the simulation. Additionally no heat enters or leaves the source in total.

OK

Accepts the changes and closes the dialog.
