Comments
- TIC Bulk Data Entries will not be used (therefore, no initial conditions) unless selected in the Subcase Information section.
- Initial condition for transient heat transfer needs to come from this entry, which needs to reference TEMP and TEMPD Bulk Data or the subcase ID of steady-state or another transient heat transfer subcase. If the IDs of TEMP/TEMPD and the subcase ID of steady-state or another transient heat transfer subcase are the same, the IDs of steady-state or transient heat transfer subcase take precedence.
