The Control page includes some thermal control parameters illustrated
in Figure 8.3.117. For thermal analysis or coupled
thermal analysis, these parameters can control the solver type, steady-state or
transient analysis, linear or non-linear analysis, and time step of thermal
analysis, etc.
TIME SCALE FACTOR
STEFAN BOLTZMANN CONSTANT(SBC)
THERMAL ANALYSIS TYPE (ATYPE)
0: steady-state analysis
1: transient analysis
THERMAL PROBLEM TYPE (PTYPE)
0: linear problem
1 or 2: non-linear problem which needs to define *CONTROL_THERMAL_NONLINEAR
TIME STEP CONTROL (TS)
0: fixed time step
1: variable time step
TIME INTEGRATION PARAMETER(TIP)
0: set to 0.5. Use Crank-Nicholson scheme
1: fully-implicit.
