Temperature Gradient – MIDAS Support

1. Description

This component operates the Temperature Gradient function in Civil NX.
Enter the temperature differences between the tops and bottoms of beam or plate elements for thermal stress analysis. Modify or delete previously entered temperature differences.

The Temperature Gradient function can be found in the Civil NX main menu,select [Load] tab > [Temperature] tab > [Temperature Loads] Group > [Temperature Gradient] Menu
